thanks David, there are 5 of them altogether over probably a 10-15 mile stretch of the old canal. 2 derelict, 3 lived in, one of which was rewired by yours truly many,many years ago.

my Sigma 17-70 was fine and giving very good results but it developed a fault which i believe could be the OS system, when zooming in or out at around the 24 mm point the image will jump diagonally across the view finder and something is very loose inside. never been dropped or harshly treated and have had it around 18 months.
not worth the repair cost at Sigma prices so purchased the Pentax 17-70 f4 from a forum member, anther that would suit the OP

used a 680 filter on this which lets a bit more visible light through, it gave an interesting effect with the shade created by the group of trees hence the title

i believe the Tamron 17-50 f2.8 seems to be well liked by users and could be cheaper than the Sigma. after saying this there is a Sigma in the classifieds forum for an excellent price at the moment

thanks for all the comments, much appreciated. because this Cemetery is allowed to overgrow to provide a habitat for various flora and fauna it is an excellent subject spot but being only 10 minutes away like all things on the doorstep i do tend to forget it

excellent shots Roger, the beetle looks like one of the Soldier Beetle group just going on body shape and antennae, the Weevil looks positively evil
