Overhead
Wings spread
Frozen by fate
Iron weight
Open gate
An invitation
Anticipation
Consternation
Fear of the unknown
All alone
Walls of stone
City of the dead

What a precious piece, Kim. It sings the photo into life (and death) and it’s so perfect for the approaching season. Also, the tone makes me think of Bradbury’s Something Wicked this Way Comes.

Thank you, Magaly. I wasn’t thinking of Bradbury when I wrote it – I was thinking more of Susan Hill’s Woman in Black.

It makes complete sense. The eeriness that fills the world of Woman in Black also makes me think of Halloween… Then again, it is possible that with the season approaching, I’m seeing Halloween everywhere. 🙂

There’s a candlelit tour of a local heritage house, Holkham Hall, at the end of October. It has a reputation for being haunted. I really want to go!

I hope you go and take many pictures!

I imagined one of those old Victorian ones, with a squeaky gate and monumental tombs.
