A moody, black and white study of the ruins of the Church of St Thomas à Becket in Heptonstall, West Yorkshire. This photograph captures the skeletal remains of the 13th-century church, showing the roofless arches and hollow windows towering over weathered gravestones. The monochrome treatment highlights the dramatic contrast between the ancient masonry and the sombre graveyard, evoking a sense of timelessness and local history in this famous Pennine village.
I took this in November 2013 with a Samsung Galaxy Tablet, you can see many more of my images on my blog at www.colingreenphotography.co.uk
