A cross Mono Monday
I have started changing my time for my morning walk on some days instead of heading out to catch the sunrise, I head out a little later and have bene visiting some spots I haven't been to that a re best visited when there is more light.
One of the spots I visited was St Marys Cemetery in Dartmouth, and I will share on Wednesday showing more of the layout of the cemetery, but today being a Monday I am going with some Mono Images.
The last couple of Mondays i have gone with Color Splash/Selective color edits, for todays post I am back to pure Mono, which I find works well for some things including cemeteries, and in this case details of some crosses on headstones in the cemetery.
This Cemetery is a Catholic Cemetery and has a lot of Graves with Irish names, but this first cross is for a grave with the surname Harding, which I think is more of Scottish origin, the the Celtic style cross is what caught my eye.

Next up a more simple cross
Now I enjoy walking around cemeteries, reading the headstones and wondering about the history of the people laid to rest their, I find it a relaxing and calming experience.
I know some find cemeteries creepy but not me:)

Another simple cross again with the letters IHS, which as I understand it is an abbreviation which was common for the name Jesus from the Greek Alphabet

I was quite taken by this last cross, simple in design yet it stood out to me, I wonder if the shape of the cross ties in somehow to the person buried there working on a boat or ship of some sort it just has a nautical feel to me
