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.

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.
