In Woking there is a First World War cemetary for Muslim soldiers. The remains were removed decades ago and recently the grounds have been transformed into a Peace Garden. A very tranquil place it is too and there is a commemorative stone dedicated to the soldiers who were buried there.

There's something really pleasing about a quality set of symmetrically composed images - these are spot on. All really good but the first one is just "spot on"

Thanks Lenny. These were all on a tripod with the K1 and DFA15-30. I used the electronic level to square the camera.

Like Lenny said, great symmetry and for my taste, made all the more beautiful by the bright midday sun.

What you need are lenses, more lenses, bigger lenses, better lenses, faster lenses, vintage lenses and when you have these, your pictures will be perfect!

Great set. It's no.3 that does it for me. I love the way that you have framed it up.

I live very near but have never actually got around to visiting. Your set may well provide the incentive for me to get there.

Very nice Peter... funnily enough I dropped by here when I was working in Woking a few months ago (my landlady suggested it)... loved the tranquility of the place, has quite an energy to it, but got nothing as good as these photographically... no1 is really super...

A very good set. Rich colours and balance throughout.

Best regards
