I promised that I was going to only post new, UK based shots for a while….So blame the gap in postings down to the diabolical weather we’re currently enjoying here. That and the fact that I’ve got a virulent case of the galloping crud, so have found it difficult to drag myself from the confines of my very comfortable bed. But, because I love you dear reader, I’ve done just that.
Through icy gusting blasts, through sheets of freezing rain, through sleet, through mud, through no fault of his own, your hero ventured forth….To Barrow Hill!
It pissed down of course, but the cemetery seemed almost to be enjoying it. The light was ‘crap’ with a capital ‘shite’, but after some processing jiggery-pokery I was fairly happy with these summery feelgood snaps.
I thought they might work as illustrations for a range of ‘Get Well Soon’ cards…What do you think?

Wow!!! Amazing as always! Funny, I’ve been thinking a lot of shooting cemeteries. Hm… I’ll have to find one soon!

I was going to say I hope you’re in a cemetery soon…But I obviously don’t…..If you get my drift.

LOL!

How delightfully Gothic! Hope you feel better soon.

I did feel a little bit ‘Heathcliffe-esque’ as the wind and rain swept through my tumbling locks of un-ruly hair.

I love the eeriness of these photos; I find graveyards fascinating – there are some amazing headstones. Sorry you’re under the weather! It is appalling here in the UK at the moment 🙂

Hey..That is REALLY REALLY kind of you…..
And yes, graveyards are often surprisingly cool places…This particular one is in a very sorry state but it certainly adds to the atmosphere.

love shooting in graveyards, but i live next to one so it’s familiar and not scary! and i laughed at the ‘virulent case of the galloping crud’ too funny, but hope it gallops away soon.

It has galloped..there was a nasty stumble at the last fence, but, after the dexterous use of the best part of a whole roll of toilet paper, the problem was solved to the satisfaction of all concerned…
So…HIP HOORAY…it’s now well and truly galloped’n’gone.

If I received a Get Well soon with one of these images from you, I would definitely feel better 😉 Now, more importantly, are you feeling better?
Stuart Hyde - shpics
Yes I’m fully recovered thanks….feeling chipper…(Like a dog with two di*ks as they say where you come from).

I have actually never heard that line….!

Well, now that you have, I hope you use it at least once a day….
