[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Another from my series showing the Auckland suburb of Meadowbank, early on a foggy late-winter morning.

Purewa cemetery sits on one side of the gully that runs from Orakei to St Johns. By NZ standards it's a big cemetery, and a number of notable figures from the country's past are buried here.

The fog filling the valley had the effect of muting the sounds of traffic and commuter trains, leaving only a cool, still silence.

See also Suburbia - Suburbia II - Ghost Train - and if you're interested in something a little more "artistic," see my Dressed In White series at TL.

Rew the mood in this compo is very solemn, almost religious. I like how you placed the angel on the right side leaving the tree blurred by fog on the left. Very nice perspective of this angel. Not often I get to see this type of cemetery architecture. Nice work.

I loe this one Rew, and as I have several members of my family buried there it is even better.

solemn, near-gothic, yet your title says it all. i agree with the former comments about positioning and dof. looking at this shot evokes such a response that i need to take a moment of silence myself. well done

It is amazing how this picture, together with the note, can communicate the mood you wanted to capture. Well done!

Nice and with the misty weather the perfect mood, I like it, Rew !

I like this a great deal. I love the way that the fog has subdued the colours. The positioning of the angel is very good. I like the way that she is looking down into the picture.

rew,
another mystic, moody composition. good colro and the texture is great here. placement of teh statue could not've better.

Hi there,

This photo has the look! and very suit to your titile. I really love the idea of Angel's (with wing), IT'S GREAT!

For this type of photo, I would try to crop it a bit thighter to emphasized on the mood. Perhaps, a clear view of the face details would also give more weight to this photo. Overall, it's beautiful.

Regards,
DA

This is a good picture. I like to picture cemeteries and this is a nice view, that conveys well a sad mood. Maybe the pic could benefit from a bit of cropping and a bit more shadows. But I don't like to alter the pictures too much. This is good as it is. Black and white would also be interesting...

The athmosphere is good for this kind of shot. The fog is welcome and the composition great.

Hi Rew.

Have you thought in a B&W picture for this composition? From my POV, with that atmosphere could be a lovely picture. More than now is.

Well done!

Rgs, Oscar

hi Rew, I haven't chosen this photo by accident-i guess "the" mood is creeping into me today - by "the' mood i mean this both calm and nostalgic atmpshere that i can see also in this photograph.i like cementaries for the silence that welcomes yo there. the fog you're writing about not only helped to mute the noise but also to create a great soft background for the statue, and this is also an element i like about the photograph.
best regards
A.

Hello, Rew. Good wishes for the New Year! The composition of this photo is so very well done. I love the misty quality that gives it the perfect mood. Verry, verry nice!! All the best, Shelly
