Just looking at headstones makes me sad. I think there's a story in each one of them. If only we could have a way to know that story. Very good images Bill.

The subject does suit mono, but have to go for colour, with V1 being my fave 😃👍

I have a thing for overgrown headstones Bill, and your V1 ticks all the right boxes, the light is lovely adding a certain warmth to a sombre scene.

We went to a cemetery near us to find the stones set for the people who built the house we live in--- ---found them--- a unique sensation---

Colour for me too and V1 is favourite. Some of those headstones must have been expensive, then the family moves away or dies out and we wonder "Who were they, these once important people?"

The versions are wonderful, Bill. Sometime fascinating about old abandoned family headstones.
