Been hoping I'd be able to catch the cemetery in snow at some point.

Nunhead is one of the seven great Victorian cemeteries established in a ring around the outskirts of London for those that don't know (which will be most people of course!)

Cool shots. I'm drawn to cemeteries for some odd reason and love the idea of shooting them in snow. It softens the subject matter a bit.

And what a beautiful place to shoot!

Can you get there at night before the snow melts? That would offer some great shooting, or scare the pants off of you!

South-East, sort of between Peckham and New Cross (map (http://www.multimap.com/maps/?zoom=16&title=Nunhead%20Cemetery%20Main%20Entrance&countryCode=GB&lat=51.4642128501863&lon=-0.0530791043579602)). And thanks :)

I'd love to have been able to go back today with a clear blue sky rather than the blizzard I was in yesterday :)

Night time? I imagine it's closed but that's probably a good thing. I'd not been before and much of it is very overgrown with tombstones spread through wild woods in some places. I spent a lot of the time crawling through brambles in deep snow to get to somewhere and was pretty lost at times. I'd at least need to go with someone else in the dark and a very significant torch :)

Nice shots of a great location. You can get really lost in that place with the all great tombs and such to take shots of :)

I appreciate the comments :)

To be honest, you can't really go wrong in a place like that with snow... just keep clicking :)
