Cemetery Photography–Frozen Mary
This cemetery photograph of a frozen Mary statue is my favourite photograph of 2011.
It was painfully cold one January morning when I decided to pay the local cemetery a visit and I was captivated by the frozen cobwebs hanging off her frosted hands.
I love the craftsmanship of the statue as the robes actually look stiff like cardboard due to the freezing conditions and her poor bare feet upon that rock, but there she stands for decades or possibly a century?
To finish off this photograph, I love the other lone statue you can see in the background and don’t the two of them stand out against the boring modern headstones of today?
This image can be viewed within my Macabre Morti gallery and is available to purchase from as little as £10. Simply click on View/Add to Cart when viewing the image and follow the onscreen instructions.

Cemetery Photography by Amanda Norman
I visited the local cemetery today with my camera in hand, but it wasn’t a good day for photography. It was too bright, but I thought I’d share my latest graveyard photographs with you.
I enjoy looking at some of the statues in a cemetery, but I do prefer angels with massive wings.
I love the wording on this headstone, ‘pray for the repose of the soul of’, which means ‘pray for the rest of the soul of’. I’ll be reading a lot more headstones the next time I visit.
