" EMPS #99: CEMETERIES.
CEMETERIES... Creepy? Or Peaceful? John Scalzi posed this question back when he was the host of the Monday Photo Shoot, and I thought this might be a good time to revisit the subject! By the way, CEMETERIES doesn't have to be limited to what traditionally comes to mind when we think of this subject, an auto wrecking yard might also be considered a CEMETERY. Use your imagination with this one.
Extra Credit: I would like to see both a color and black & white photo interpretation of the subject. Let's explore the emotion we get from the two different views."
Old cemeteries at the Armenian Apositolic Church of St Gregory the Illuminator, which was built in 1835, in 1973, the building was gazetted as a national monument by the National Preservation Board.
Within the tranquility of the tropical landscape lies the Memorial Garden with the tomb markings of Armenians who died in Singapore. The tombstones were transported here in the late 1960’s from the Bukit Timah.

My first time seeing dead coral. Very interesting!
Hi Jama :)
Wow... I really enjoyed both versions of your photography this week. The angels are really lovely, and an amazing tribute to a lost loved one. Thank you so muc for participating this week!
The dead coral was fascinating to me. What an unusual place, and a great idea for this challenge. A total break from what would traditionally comes to mind! Nicely done m'dear!

did you go and pick up some corals? So sad they are left like that.
The black and white treatment brings out more of the bleakness and inevitability of death...
I liked the second shot very much
