Highgate Cemetery - Graves and Roots and a little Wildlife

A visit to the gothic East Highgate Cemetery on a glorious sunny day this week.

 

I have never been here before and was amazed at the sense of decay and abandonment, with the roots and trunk-like branches of ivy....

 

.....taking hold of certain graves....

 

.....making the gravestones lean....

....at interesting angles.



 

As nature takes over this cemetery, wildlife was happy to move in, including a Green Woodpecker...

 

....and a Jay.
