Is that a church yard or a cemetery?

Mega creepy that castle and the church yard, but also hauntingly beautiful. They’d make wonderful settings for a black and white movie.

Love these, Cybele! How majestic these old castles must have been at one time. Usually cemeteries don’t bother me but this one….won’t catch me in it after dark! 😀
