Cnock,

Thank you for the beautiful photos.

Are the gravestones really pink or is it due to the evening sunlight?

All the best,

Fred

Hello Fred,

The grave stones are not pink, but there was a lot of bright light on this sunny day, so that I had to used tricks to make the photos.

I was looking through this site and found a photo of the grave of Harry Boothman. I was pleased to find this as I have his 'Dead Man's Penny'. Thankyou for posting these photos.
