Photo of the Week 6 and 7 – The Last Gate
Filed Under Photography on April 6, 2008 at 6:41 pm
Having missed last week I’ve decided to release a double photo of the week this week. Both of these images are tone mapped HDR shots and both are of the entrance to the College grave yard in St. Patrick’s College Maynooth in Ireland. The entrance is simply breath-taking. There is a long and very high avenue created by two rows of Yew trees that have been meshed together to form a high and wide tunnel that leads up to the gate to the cemetery. The gate itself is made of beautiful carved stone with a statue of the Virgin Mary above the entrance. There is also a large high-cross directly in line with the gate in the very centre of the cemetery.
The first image was taken from the start of the avenue of Yew trees looking down towards the gate to the cemetery. The second image shows the gate with the high cross framed in the entrance.
These are beautiful Bart!
Wow! Thos HDR shots surely do rock. Two great shots, especially the 2nd one is quite an eye catcher.
