an evening walk in the Cemetery
Note
I am way behind on visiting posts and replying to comments as busy working in the backyard this week, we have friends coming to help with some work this weekend and I have a lot to get ready before they come so it may take me a couple of days to catch up with Wednesday walk posts but I will get to it but maybe not today
This post if for Wednesday walk challenge And Make me Smile Collaboration challenge, initially our collaboration was once a month but due to the popularity of it we have decided to make the collab a weekly thing :)
Wednesday Walk is a challenge started by me, the idea is to get out for a short walk and get some shots of what you can see within a short distance of your home office or wherever you start. And this is my entry for this week, but first, let me explain the challenge.
This is my post for the Wednesday Walk challenge hosted by myself, let me first explain the guidelines
Try and get out once a week for a short walk, can be from your office, home or anywhere really and walk for a few blocks or a few minutes looking for things to get shots of.
Your walk does not have to be on a Wednesday I just ask if possible to share your walk photos on a Wednesday.
Try and get a few shots not just one
Add a bit of a write up about where you walked
You can look for anything in general or decide on one subject you want to get shots off.
Make a point of looking around and up and see what you can find to get shots of that otherwise you may miss
Do a post with the shots you get on a Wednesday and tag it with #wednesdaywalk, also if you happen to join, please leave a link to your post in a comment on this post and I will try and visit them all, especially if its not one of the first 5 tags or I may miss seeing it .
Following me and re-Hiving the post so more see it would be appreciated but isn't a rule just a suggestion.
I am not strict on these rules and hence why they are called guidelines and not rules
I will try and visit, and upvote all who take part in the Wednesday Walk, plus I will be sending some Hive to a selection of those who participate.

And this weeks walk shots are from couple of evening walks through the cemetery near our house, on e acoupleof days when I had not got as many steps as I wanted during the day I headed out a little before sunset and took a walk through the cemetery, got some steps in and a few shots for a post, these wont be in the order I took them but rather just shots I liked and edited for this post starting with this one, where I went for a more moody darker edit bringing out the blues.

On the recent walks the sunsets haven't been that spectacular, but was still nice to getout for a walk, funny thing is two of the nights I was worn out and couldn't be bothered going for a walk we saw from our backyard or out the window some lovely colorful sunsets, nature teasing me LOL
Speaking of not so colorful this next shot I felt worked somewhat well in Mono

I think these shots show its quite an old cemetery but may not show how wellit is maintained, it is always clean and well kept up, almost every day we see the ground team working there

you may think the colors in sky in this next shot are pretty good but i have to be honest they weren't i decided to play a little with a new feature i noticed in photoshop sky replacement, which I think worked quite well
