Photo-a-Day  (Saturday, 31st March, 2012)

Lovely. I am sure there is a bird in there somwhere.

That's not not Westwood, its Wigan cemetery.

Janice, what a beautiful picture, thanks for sharing..

I love cherry blossoms..

was here today dont like cemetaries they creep me out

Cherry blossom looks lovely but the slightest wind or rain and its gone till next year.Make the most of it while its in bloom and enjoy it

Shame this cherry blossom dosent stay on the trees longer like it does in Japan.

What a lovely photo Janice....bet the birds were lurking in the tree !

Wonderful photograph Janice You have captured the peace and tranquility of the cemetery also the lovely carpet of cherry blossom.

This is the real maggie. Thank you so much for this wonderful photo. It sums up the feeling of Spring. Well done!

Was told it was called Westwood Charlie, but am not a Wiganer so you are probably correct.

Yes a lovely photo Janice, bright and colourful, unlike the last time I was there when it was a damp and dank November day, by the way it is Wigan Cemetery, Westwood Cemetery is on the other side of the old railway line down Westwood Lane.

Why do the council keep on dodging up this ancient and decrepit crematorium that has gone way past its best before date, they could instead have built a new one at Gidlow, which to me is a far more agreeable site for a crematorium.

Beautiful photograph.

Very nice shot Janice,vast array of colours,lights,and shadows.

I have said, in a previous wiganworld critique,"I believe Wigan has a lot more to offer" and
here it is, a beautiful photo and simply Wigan,.....Just fabulous.

That's a cracker!

"In England's green and pleasant land"

A truly beautiful picture Janice, I love the effect of light and shade and the lovely shades of green. My late husband,who was born and raised in Toronto, was enthralled by the "green-ness" of England.

Lovely photo. My mum always thinks that the fallen blossom looks like pink snow.

Beautiful photo, really captures the essence of Spring.

I think that this is a great photo. I have a piece of paper denoting my ownership of a double grave at the cemetary. The grave is only half full but the space for inscriptions is full. It has been suggested that I write PTO on the gravestone. I would like to see a monument with names for the miners who died in 1871 at Moss Pit.
