Looks like something out of a movie.
What a breathtaking view.
I'd love to see this same view in full color
during late spring or summer, too.
This is a beyond amazing shot, like something that looks almost fictional.
wow, almost like a story book.
its very Tim Burton looking. God all I want to do is fix that gate
Wallpaper, Motts. Wallpaper.
what are the little buildings on the edge, masoleums?
What a gorgeous view.
Gosh something out of a legend
Love that broken gate, and the symmetry of the stones and fences below....
whats with the triangle in the cemetery?
How could this cemetary just be abandoned???
This place is beautiful!!!!
The cemetery is not abandoned, only the chapel and crematorium.
the last few shots.. just......wow.. This screams wallpaper..
wow. wow. wow.
This looks really cold
Looks like it's right out of a vampire movie. Beautiful!
Reminds me of the book "The Keeper" by Sarah Langan...very creepy =]
This shot and the one before remind me of an excerpt from Mozart's Requiem:

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis, cum sanetis tuis in aeternum, quia pius es.

(Grant them [the dead] eternal rest, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine on them, with Thy saints for ever, because Thou are merciful.)
I looove your work !
Des images si profondes...
I love winter. Photographs like this make up a huge percentage of my reasons why.
Anyone notice how most of the big figures on the headstones are in hand with an anchor? Or am I just crazy? Maybe both?

Maybe, Mr. Motts will find time to photograph this beautiful old cemetery for us during spring, summer or best of all, Autumn.
The Anchor is an early Christian symbol of hope. I would guess, hope for salvation and the Heavenly journey into eternity. Death is so final, so Permanent.. Visiting an old Cemetery like this one we see the monments erected to honor people long gone and forgotten, and we realize that in time so shall we be forgotten as they.
Gives my heart a flutter!! wow..
ya that triangle thingey is bugging me
Totally tim burton style! but have to say.... guardian of the gate? didn't look after it that well if you look at the actual gate....
Still.... great picture
Speechless!
