Near the secondary (Combe Park) entrance. Despite autumn being well underway the trees of Locksbrook cling steadfastly to their leaves. There are many interesting species of trees in this cemetery. Nikon D40 and AF-S DX Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VRII lens. Focal length 18mm (full frame equivalent 27mm). 400 ISO; f/5; 1/30th.

A short epitaph lacking dates and sentiment. Not a big pay day for the monumental mason. Nikon D2Xs and Nikkor-O.C 35mm f/2 lens.

A door left ajar for the residents of The Belmont Funeral Home waiting patiently for the shroud bodies crumbling like a wedge of mousetrap cheese Tears falling for no-one in particular. It's time.

They took all the bones And put 'em in a bones museum.

Avebury churchyard. Nikon D700 + AF Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm f/2.8 lens.

A great sadness at Lacock in 1809.

Although this churchyard is generally well maintained, this broken tablet with an inscription barely legible through missing stone and erosion lies prostrate under the perimeter hedge. Nikon D2Xs + Nikkor 35-70mm f/2.8 AF lens.

After the morning rain, a damp afternoon in a cemetery during autumn, the season of sleep and death. Photographed with a Nikon D2Xs and an AF Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm f/2.8 lens.

Seen abandoned on a grave in the churchyard of Edington Priory Church. The biro looks like the type available in betting shops. The wooden cross seems to be an orphan from the regular November event. We live in a throwaway, don't tidy up society, where totems and memorabilia have replaced quiet reflection. Canon EOS 30D + Chinon 55mm f/1.4 lens.

Nikon D2Xs with an AF Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6 G lens at 66mm. This is a splendidly cheap kit lens from the dying days of film cameras. Whilst on the subject of death, I have to observe how jolly it has become. When I was young, it was characterised by lots of stone slabs and chippings, with occasional black iron chains surrounding the grave in garlands, and the odd aluminium flower pot with holes you could get your fingers stuck in if the grown-ups lingered over-long clipping round the edges and scrubbing the birdshit off the inscription. Now it has been cheered up with brightly coloured plastic things in the shape of flowers and carriage lamps, and circular turbo fans that whizz round madly in the breeze. Adjacent to this grave there were two empty milk cartons suggesting a recent picnic. So if you feel inclined to ask, 'O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?' the answer might be in a shipment of plastic novelties sent half-way round the world in a container ship to liven up visits to the cemetery in case no flower vases are in situ, or there are no snails to be found and crunched underfoot.
