O Mors!

This striking image from a monument in Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford is an allegory of Death - a fitting reminder of our mortality for the month of November, traditionally devoted to the memory of the faithful departed.

Quite an extraordinary carving.

On another topic...why did you decide to add borders?

Thank you all.

Wyclif: I've decided to add borders to many of my recent photos partially because I have finally figured out how to do it with ease, but also because I think it defines the photo a bit better...

Hope you like them!
