The story behind this image

This is the ancient St Tudno's church and graveyard, nestled on the slopes of the Great Orme at Llandudno on the North Wales coast.

Old churches and graveyards have great photographic potential, but it's rare to find them set in a dramatic but uncluttered setting.

St Tudno's is one such, with the Irish Sea as a backdrop you have nothing in the frame that competes for attention with the church building and graves.

For this image I minimalised the scene still further by converting to monochrome, as the colours weren't contributing anything to the scene and were lessening the somewhat melancholy feel that old church grounds normally engender.
