Had a walk up Rivelin Valley the other week with ndegwa.
We had a wander round the Catholic graveyard up there. It is a place of great contrasts. Some parts are pristine, while others are really overgrown. For some reason, a lot of the statues had been decapitated.
I set myself the challenge of only using my 85mm prime lens to try to get the creative juices flowing. I don't think it worked, but here's a few of the results anyway.

The place is well worth a visit if you like photographing graveyards.
