When I ride my bike to the gym, I pass this very small, ancient cemetary. Here are the graves of a couple who lived in my town adn walked some of the same streets over 200 years ago. Using Pencil Sketch and Conte Crayon gives the photo an Edward Gorey effect.

    I really like the black and white version - it just seems more timeless!

    Great Edward Gorey effect! I expect to see the swooning woman from Masterpiece Mysteries draped over one of the headstones.

    These headstones are awesome. Mrs. Anne, consort of Mr. Nathan lol. I don't think they use that word in the same way nowadays. Love all the detail and shadows. Fabulous shot! (I prefer the color version)
