This is St Mary the Virgin Church in Deane, Bolton. The final shots from my pentax k-m after many years of good service. 1 St Mary the Virgin by Paul Bennett, on Flickr 2 ok so the unusal title of the thread. We were wandering around any my boy says "Why is Yoda on that Grave?", so I looked and there he was! I have tried to find out what he/it might be but without success. I did find out that this Celtic Cross is not actually a grave at all but a memorial to a martyr from this parish who was burned at the stake in Chester (George Marshall). You can see "Yoda" at the bottom. Yoda's Cross by Paul Bennett, on Flickr 3 Bramble Graves by Paul Bennett, on Flickr Finally two of my lad. I liked the fact that he slipped by the "may be slippery" sign. 4 Read the Sign by Paul Bennett, on Flickr 5 Railings Boy by Paul Bennett, on Flickr 6 This one seems totally out of place but its just across the road from the Church. I have an interest in derelict pubs so I thought I'd get it whilst I was there. The former Stags Head pub. An interesting fact about this pub is that a river runs through the cellar.

I have the pleasure of working in Deane and the surrounding areas - lots of familiar sights there. I usually don't favour shots of the backs of people, but I like the movement in number 4 and the fact that a kid doesn't have a screen in front of them.
Lots of my family are buried in Dean churchyard. No3 for me too I seem to remember seeing Yoda on Celtic crosses before!
I like the tones in No1,the mono and well your lad on the railings more red than you can shake a stick at.
Well found! The grave shot for me is the choice here. Maybe the last one, but with the mangling down a couple of notches please.
