And here's the final season's grievings image for 2021!

I hope you've enjoyed these again this year.

Let me know in the comments if you think I should continue sharing these in December 2022, or if you've had enough of this curated series!

This image is the 'before' picture of sister.

A good deed was done between captures by my companion in righting the Christmas tree that had fallen during the previous night's heavy rain.

And this is the penultimate season's grievings image for 2021!

It's that time again.

I'm posting the first one slightly later than planned but aiming to share new images from the season's grievings series every couple of days between now and Christmas and make them public approximately two days later.

I hope you enjoy!

This is the final season’s grievings image I’ll be sharing to my blog in 2020.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this festive mini-series.

There's a whole post to come about my first visit to Kensal Green Cemetery; one of the 'magnificent seven' London cemeteries.

But, between now and Christmas Day, I'll be sharing a few more season's grievings images I took during my visit, including this one.

Images from this mini-series had previously been shared early access for my Patreon patrons two days before making them public to the rest of the world.

But I have a few I want to share so they'll become public closer to 24 hours after original posting there in the lead-up to Christmas.

After Christmas, new images from the series will be available early access to my patrons a week before the rest of the world.

Become a patron.

This looks like being the last season's grievings instalment for now.

If I find any new ones worthy of sharing I'll do so whether that's before Christmas or anytime in the future.

I hope you've enjoyed this mini-series within my sepulchre series.

I'm expecting to have more stained glass images for you soon.

Perusing my digital archives for these images has reminded me exactly how many of my photographs from graveyards, cemeteries, churchyards and more haven't yet seen the light of day.

And don't even start me on how many graves I've captured on film that I would love to share with you!

I especially enjoyed reminiscing over my, as yet, unedited and unpublished photographs from Edinburgh's Parish Church of Saint Cuthbert.

I had the chance to revisit the Saint Cuthbert churchyard in 2011, likely about 10 years after my first visit there. This was due to the generosity of my newest Patreon patron, Sarah Jansen, who gifted me the unneeded return portion of her Edinburgh to London ticket. And Daniel and Mia who put me up for my visit during festival season moments away from the base of the hill Edinburgh Castle rises from. A prime position for photographing the Military Tattoo fireworks (which I did).

I hope to, eventually, share more of my analogue photographs with you, as well as my digital ones. Though a film and flatbed scanner - amongst other things like infinite time and money to devote to the task - is something I need to reinstate into my toolbox first. I'm working on it!
