Gravestones and Ruined Chapel

I visited Buckfastleigh yesterday, a long over-due visit with my camera. I like the place and its surroundings, having spent many weekends camping there as a youth, pursuing my then hobby of caving.
On this visit I hung around the top of the hill above the village, where the now ruined church stands.

The lighting was a bit harsh, even in the evening when this was taken. This sort of shot really deserves a blue sky, with some cloud cover to give uneven lighting and ideally some shafts of light.

But it was a cloudless day and this was the best of the four or five I shot of the chapel.

Well, I managed to squeeze another one in... I couldn't stop mesel' ! This is one of the short paths leading into the Elizabethan garden, as featured in the last couple of posts.

I'm still not brave enough to launch into a full blown treatment of darkness with just the light from the sun breaking through and lighting patches of wall and path. I'm heading in that direction, but need the right shot to start with.

I guess this was close, but not close enough.
