Burial ground

A neighborhood church has an area where the ashes of the dead are interred and plaques on the wall identify those whose ashes rest there. There must be a generic name for such a place but I don't know it.

    The third shot is pretty self-explanatory. Incidently, I don't know what the name for such a facility is either. The other 3 shots are quite mysterious, particularly the first one.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Thanks for the comment, Tom. I wanted a mysterious feel.

    First one is really funky and cool and mysterious!
    Second one is nice, easy one I think.
    Third one I am not getting it.
    Fourth one, if mine, I would brighten the eyes some, just to add bit spooky factor and to draw attention more and create little bit of funkiness.

    Thanks for the critique, Taz. I actually darkened the eyes in the fourth one so the viewer would see the hand first and the face second.

    think like the first one too, intriguing.

    FYI, it's officially called a Columbarium. I like 1 and 4 the best. Nice work!

    Sara, Cristobal, thanks. I thought that in a columbarium the ashes were placed in a wall, which these aren't, but the term must be broader than I thought.

    I like image #4...nice work with the lighting and effect.

    Letting my imagination wander...image #1 looks like an enlargement of a microscopic view or hair follicles.

    I like your BW work!
