Frosty Spire
Elegy in a Country Churchyard
It’s hard not to think of Thomas Gray’s Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard on a chilly late Autumn afternoon when you see your shadow on a tombstone. Equally hard to forget Mencken’s gloss on it: “There are no mute, inglorious Miltons, save in the hallucinations of poets. The one sound test of Milton is that he functions as a Milton.”

Graveyard
Passed by St Andrew’s again last weekend and it continues to attract my lens for yet another shot at the same scene.
Farnham Sunset
There’s a communal terrace on my block of flats (apartment building) and noticing a beautiful sunset out the window one evening I headed there to capture the sight. The top image was created using in-camera panoramic stitching.
Autumn Churchyard
This churchyard is particularly lovely in the Autumn and I feel compelled to try and capture it every time I pass.
St Andrew’s
Farnham has been host (so to speak) to the church since as early as the 7th century.

Some more pictures of the Bamberg area taken in 1955-56 on Kodachrome slide film by my father.
According to Wikipedia, “Bamberg extends over seven hills, each crowned by a beautiful church. This has led to Bamberg being called the “Franconian Rome” — although a running joke among Bamberg’s tour guides is to refer to Rome instead as the “Italian Bamberg”. The hills are Cathedral Hill, Michaelsberg, Kaulberg/Obere Pfarre, Stefansberg, Jakobsberg, Altenburger Hill and Abtsberg.” I’m not sure which of these are pictured below, or even if these are all churches and not some of the many Schlösser my mother told me about but couldn’t identify.
You can see the original post describing this slide-scanning project here.
