Cucklington Churchyard

Superbe et belle série joliment partagée.. Bonne journée dominicale.

Thank you Malik.
Sunday greetings.

I love the main but also the church entrance... late romanic ? Enjoy your Sunday.

Thank you Isabel. I think over the years there have been additions to the church, mostly in the late 18th to mid 19th centuries. Wishing you a good Sunday also.

An excellent example of framing, Rosa. The grave and the cross provide the ideal foreground interest. The field boundaries and the undulations in the land look magnificent in the distance.

The architecture of the church tower is very rustic and charming.

A beautiful pair of images.

Cheers,

Joe

Thank you very much for your kind comments Joe. It is good when we see a good framing opportunity, and churchyards often give them. Cheers, Rosa.

A lovely place to be laid to rest overlooking the valley. Stay safe, Rosa.

Yes it would be lovely Amelia...but not just yet ;-))
Take care and have a good new week.

Such a pleasant view Rosa

Thank you very much Nick.

As cupolas go, it's quite sweet but doesn't really add much to the church which would have been better left as it was; but times and attitudes change. Anyway a lovely couple of shots as ever, Rosa!

It's not likely to be removed as it's Grade II listed. You are right, times and attitudes do change.
Thank you very much for your very kind comments.

Beautiful framed view!

Thank you very much Dida.

Wonderful framing Rosa.

Thank you very much Jaap.

Like everyone else, I love the way you've framed the view across to the distant fields - and the foreground is just perfect! A great balance of light and shadows too.

Its good to get a closer view of the church tower and entrance in the PiP too.

Excellent work as always!

Thank you very much Keith. It was there waiting to be framed :)
I was fascinated by the mixture of the two very different coloured stones.

Take care and have a good new week.

Two beautiful images. That grave is in a very lovely spot. Gazing over the landscape the occupant knew in life. The close up of the church is very appealing. It's a simple building full of charm.

Thank you for your very kind comments Jean. The small village churches are so often more charming. Take care and have a good new week.

is het op 2 februarie daar nog zo groen Rosa of is de onaangepaste datum ---Schitterende foto

The date is correct Fred. It is quite green all around. The sheep are enjoying it :)

So nicely captured and framed, Rosa !

Thank you very much Ulrich.
Good evening.

Rosa, that main photo here is an awesome capture. What a view !! so well done....
have great Sunday, tho late in your day.... stay well and safe, Sarah

Thank you very much Sarah. The village is just 4 miles away, but it was nice to have a walk somewhere else. Take care and have a good and safe new week ahead. Rosa.

A very nice final resting place, I wonder which is the oldest the grave or the tree, old graveyards often have a nice display of snowdrops, churches in this area are granite with slate roofs the newer ones with Welsh Slate which can be split into thinner pieces that the local product. A cold windy day the forecast is still for snow, enjoy your evening Rosalyn

Could be quite close run Peter! There were a few snowdrops in the churchyard, but many more along the village hedgerows. A cold day here but no snow. Have a good new week.

Wonderful composition and a lovely capture Rosa

Thank you posting your image in the group

Thank you very much Roger.

Superbes. Nicole.

Merci beaucoup Nicole.

Bien encuadrada la torre y con perfecta nitidez y el color propio que toma esa piedra con la edad. La otra fotografía con pocos elementos consigues situar la toma, diciendo qué es y mostrando su situación geográfica, enmarcada con un valle verde acotado de árboles que confieren al paisaje su aspecto sereno y tranquilo. Buena semana Rosa.

Thank you very much for your kind comments Jose Manuel.
Wishing you a good new week ahead.

A beautiful view...

Thank you very much.

Lovely images, the church is certainly sited with a magnificent view.

Thank you George. A lovely place to sit and admire the view in the summer.

Good work my friend.
I wish you a great new week, and please keep safe and well ;-)

Thank you very much June.
Wishing you a good new week also.

Great shot with this nice country side in the background!!!!!!!
Have a nice and safe new week!******

Thank you Nouchet. Have a good evening a week ahead.

...very well framed, Rosalyn...

Thank you Erika.

Always god to see scenes like this Rosa. The churchyards and burial grounds of our countryside reflect our long histories. I have often taken such pictures too but in the end do not post many thinking that some people may find them morbid perhaps -but not me! Fine church capture too.

Keep safe. Herb

Thank you Herb. As you say, so much history. I love walking around churchyards and if they have a good view, even better. Sorry for the late reply. All the best, Rosa.

Ein sehr einfühlsames Bild. Sehr schön eingerahmt!

Thank you for your very kind comment Wilhelm.

The top most image reminded me the poem in High school -- Thomas Gray.....

...........................

The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow'r,
And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave,
Awaits alike th' inevitable hour.
The paths of glory lead but to the grave.

..........................

The poem reflects the picture very well.

Sehr schön ist dieser Blick rein in den Kircheingang zum Turm liebe Rosa und auch sehr schön finde ich diesen Platz neben dem alten Baum,wo jemand seine letzte Ruhe gefunden hat,vielleicht war er verwurzelt mit diesen Baum :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))
