After the first workshop I decided to go for a bit of an exploration of the grounds around the Breaffy House Hotel where we were staying. After I’d met the horses I turned towards the forest and spotted gravestones over a stone wall. I can’t resist a cemetery, I’ve always had a fascination about them, so I made my way through the undergrowth and over the wall and was met with the view in the first photo. I had a great time trying to imagine how the subject of the second photograph came to be propped on the railings of an old grave. A thirsty ghost perhaps?

    Yes, graveyards are a bit addictive! I adore the first one, it’s a big winner.

    The second one with the glass could keep my psychiatic nursing student daughter writing for hours! A caring drinker…wanting to dry the glass…didn’t want to throw it on ground to cause harm? Actually forensically it looks like it WAS on the ground and a later passer by hung it on the fence.
