Wednesday walk - old tombstones
This post is part of the #wednesdaywalk challenge initiated by @tattoodjay.
A bit of a lurid walk to share this week.....
Last week I was invited for the fourth year in a row to cook for forty hungry teenagers (16yo) on a surf camp initiated by the school where my girlfriend works. This is an alternative to the normal city trips for the more sportive students. It all started four years ago as a joke but now i am the permanent cook for this trip to Georgeham in the Southwest of the United Kingdom close to the Atlantic Ocean.
Next to the great camp house is a old church, i have done a piece on it last year, surrounded with some really old tombstones, and this is the place i made my Wednesday walk between all the cooking.

Quite an achievement to reach that age back in those days, so born in 1790.

Old and new together as the burial place is still active as i heard from our hosts.

Some nice spring flowers to symbolize life and death.

Thank you so much!!
Cooking for forty hungry sportive students I don’t know how you found the time or energy fir a walk but what an interesting on it is so much history
I do love the contrast of life and death with the spring flowers
Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk !tip
hahaha when they where surfing i had time to do some walks, and to be honest the first year i didn't had any spare time at all.
Thanks, i also loved the contrast in that shot. And it gave the whole graveyard a bit of a lighter mood with all the blossoming spring flowers.
Glad you got some free time and were able to join the walk this week :)
Nice old tombstones photography with pretty flowers.
