Shapwick Heath NNR in Somerset is one of those places that can become unexpectedly otherworldly.

Artificial flowers shoved in ‘tween the flagstones. The eagle eyed pixel peeper will find the labels still attached.

No, I have no idea either.

Cast aside and washed up. Not a corpse.
Not a set-up, but do check Tom Kondrat’s set if that’s your thing. Either discarded by a some rah-rahs or a photographer that needs, ahem, props.
Mamiya 7ii, Mamiya 65mm f/4 L, Kodak TMAX 400. A bit shaky at around 1/15 handheld. Ooh err.

Walker, Nunhead on Flickr.

Mamiya 7ii, Mamiya 43mm f/4.5L, Rollei Retro 80s details of which, unless you are interested in cameras you can heartily ignore.
I must have been to Nunhead six or seven times so far - there are a couple of rolls being developed now. It has been a great find with so many unexpected things to search out. I think its probably drawing to an end.
I took a snap of this grave on 35mm back in the autumn and, although I liked the shot, it didn’t go with the mood of the rest of the series because it was too grainy. I went back to look at the scan and the urn was in place in the niche. Entropy is continuous and unstoppable, fellow humans, and I would have you remember that fact before you put your faith in legacy in stones. Your monument’s tenancy will be as brief as you yourself were.

“The scene? The flats? Is that OK?”
It wasn’t. I took the picture anyway.

Hollow, Nunhead on Flickr.
Via Flickr:
Mamiya 7ii, Mamiya 43mm f/4.5L, Fomapan 400 which is cheap and cheerful.
The more I go to Nunhead, the more it fascinates me. Like Ta Prohm with a railway station you can feel like Indiana Jones clambering through the undergrowth, ignored by dog walkers.
Some romantic soul (not me - I don’t ever arrange stuff in photos except the odd twig) had found another decapitated angel a home five feet closer to the Lord in a hollow in a very old oak tree. I would have a job to find it again if asked.

If you look at the original there is a flock of starlings to the right hand side of the trees. If I had been able to wind one and retake, or delayed the shot for 3 or 4 seconds, it would have been a better pic. Ah the bitter sting of regret.

A return to an old project in time for it to draw to a close. The Somerset Levels are a man-made landscape, disguised as countryside with few roads and few public rights of way. Agricultural factory-land.

Headless Angel, Nunhead on Flickr.
Via Flickr:
Mamiya 7ii, Ancient Tri-X, Mamiya 65mm f/4 L
This is just down from the rather splendid Angel which was the frame before this. Interestingly that snap went all viral in the disturbing teen goth community on my Tumblr which amused me greatly. Do check out the names of the other Tumblrs in the “notes” , I assume they’ll grow out of it.
On reflection the two-for-one deal of the cross *and* the Angel does result in all the style and grace of a teasmaid. Victorian grief was deep indeed.
