Warriston Cemetery

October 2024 - Warriston Cemetery 

Weather - Dull, but mostly dry 

Optional theme - Dereliction 

Refreshments - Costa, in the Tesco at Canonmills 

Sandra's photos capture two different aspects of the cemetery: an overgrown headstone, and a flash of autumn colour. 

Ada caught a crow perfectly placed on a headstone. 

Alex captured a couple of the cemetery's memorials, sadly diminished from their original splendour. His second photo is of the Red Lady - it's worth reading the story behind this one. 

Colin's photos capture the dreich autumn day. 

Maggie used Photoshop Elements to convert these still lifes* into semi-abstract compositions. 

Earlier in the week, Colin and Alex had made a trip to Aberlady Bay to see the pink footed geese. Sadly, the geese never showed - but the lapwings did, and they look fabulous in these photos by Colin. 

* I checked - this is the correct plural for "still life".
