Knocked about a bit

tb2 · Jan 6, 2008

This ancient church at Braceby, Lincolnshire, is a bit of a wreck. It was inelegantly built upwards in the fifteenth century, has lost its south aisle, had windows reset, and more. Yet, in its churchyard of crazily leaning gravestones, I think it has a certain charm.

Tony!!!! !!!! !!!! Great to see you posting again. I have very much missed seeing your pics. This one is lovely...I especially like the look of the moss on the roof. What an interesting find, with so many crazily tilted headstones

Thanks for the kind comments timd346, Antarctican, Kundaline, jwkwd, Empress, Dani, Chris & Abraxas. Thanks too for the welcome back. My extended absence was connected with moving house - so much to do, etc. Chris, I'm no longer on the Fylde Coast, but in Lincolnshire, which presents different photographic opportunities and challenges. It'll take me a few days to get back into the groove, but I intend to post regularly again.

Regards, Tony

Oh, you're over there now. Not been across there since I did my RAF basic training at Swinderby

Don't know whether you saw these, but they may be familiar

yet another wreck

Very nice wrecks Chris, and black and white suits them beautifully. I didn't see them first time round. I hope you had wellies with good tread when you took them :wink:

. I'll miss my old stamping grounds along the hills, the coast and the River Wyre. Lincolnshire has, probably, less variety of rural and urban scenery, but I'm starting to come to terms with the possibilities it offers.

Regards, Tony

Anyway, thread hijack over....

It's another fine shot you have there. Very nice to see that modern life doesn't appear to have intruded in any way. Love to see some more from you.
