A splendid play of light and shadow here, Alun. (aren't you proud of me for refraining from suggesting that this is a haunting image?)

I have a graveyard one up myself today just by co-incidence. I'm intrigued by how so many of these headstones are roughly the same height and shape. You don't usually get such uniformity. Beautiful light and colour and I like the leaves of the tree overhead.

Really good shot Al you've caught the feel of the place...You could have moved the bin and pulled that grass out of the wall though (!Shut up Father! ). ;>))

The light is magical in this shot. Did you get to go into the Gwydyr Forest whilst you were there?

@Richard_Irwin: Cheers Richard, to be honest we normally pass through stopping in the gear shops on the very wet days. we have walked up in one of the forests to a lake(Llyn Elsi).

A very interesting vantage point, and great composition - the gravestones look like a crowd of people headed your way :)
