Learning To Embrace An Ecclesiastical Expanse
Today we decided to continue our fraternal tour of Kent churchyards. My brother is undertaking a project to try and capture images of as many local churches and churchyards as he can in all their infinite variety from the humble and unassuming to the grandiose and magnificent - no two are the same.
Whilst I was not initially as enthusiastic as my brother, I was in very much the 'chauffeur' role orIginally, I have now found myself engrossed in all their differences, peculiarities, histories and locations having found them to be such places of calm, peace, serenity, contemplation and solace.
I sometimes like to find an alternative aspect or subject which might not even include the church or the churchyard itself but could be a view from it or an object I have come across when I'm there.
Today we had taken the short drive out to All Saints church at Wouldham but it being both overcast and threatening rain I wasn't feeling particularly like embracing any ecclesiastical endeavours on this occasion until I walked around the back of the churchyard and saw this expansive view out towards the nearby hills, framed by the perimeter wall and a wooden gate, with its silhouetted electricity pylon and that dramatic looking sky, so it had to be a moody mono!
