Wednesday Walk St Marys Cemetery
This post if for Wednesday walk challenge
Any questions about the challenge read the guide at the Bottom of the post ;)
As I mentioned on Monday I took a walk around St Marys Cemetery one morning recently and thought i would share a fw color shots from that walk today.
IT was a spur of the moment decision to walk here, I had been to another spot for a sunrise walk and was lacking drive and didnt get as many steps in as normal on that walk, and I just wasnt motivated so I jumped in the csar to drive to the supermarket as I needed to pick up some things, when I got near tot he supermarket I realised I was way early and it wasnt due to open for 25 minutes so I turned right into the cemetery across a road from the supermarket and parked,
This is one of the fee walks int he last few weeks where there was enough light i didnt need my tripod, so just grabbed my camera and off I went and here are a few shots from that walk
On one of the roads as you can see its very nicely laid out and well maintained

A headstone for Googin Bannon, I should have checked the other side to see if it had a date, but with the wear I would dsay its pretty old

A nice headstone
Which gets me thinking, I know many want to be buried in a nice cemetery, but thats not really my wish, when the time comes I would like to be cremated and have my ashes poured into water somewhere, whether it be an ocean or a river, then if any of my loved ones want to think of me or visit me they do not need to go to a cemetery but anywhere by the water will do, it fits me as walks by the water are always my favortites and most relaxing

a more simply yet eye catchign headstone
now even though this one doesnt have a date on when I walk through a cemetery I often look at the names and dates and wonder how their life was

Wednesday Walk is a challenge started by me, the idea is to get out for a short walk and get some shots of what you can see within a short distance of your home office or wherever you start. And this is my entry for this week, but first, let me explain the challenge.
This is my post for the Wednesday Walk challenge hosted by myself, let me first explain the guidelines
Try and get out once a week for a short walk, can be from your office, home or anywhere really and walk for a few blocks or a few minutes looking for things to get shots of.
Your walk does not have to be on a Wednesday I just ask if possible to share your walk photos on a Wednesday.
Try and get a few shots not just one
Add a bit of a write up about where you walked
Just one Wednesday Walk tagged post a week
You can look for anything in general or decide on one subject you want to get shots off.
Make a point of looking around and up and see what you can find to get shots of that otherwise you may miss
Do a post with the shots you get on a Wednesday and tag it with #wednesdaywalk, also if you happen to join, please leave a link to your post in a comment on this post and I will try and visit them all, especially if its not one of the first 5 tags or I may miss seeing it .
Following me and re-Hiving the post so more see it would be appreciated but isn't a rule just a suggestion.
I am not strict on these rules and hence why they are called guidelines and not rules
I will try and visit, and upvote all who take part in the Wednesday Walk.
