Monumental Cemetery is one of the largest cemeteries in the Italian city of Milan. You could easily spend an entire day wandering through it, admiring the stunning and unique historic sculptures on display in this wonderfully peaceful outdoor art gallery. Pictured here is one that particularly caught my eye, atop a huge stone tomb, a very moving example of the pieta, a familiar subject in Christian art, showing the Virgin Mary holding the dead body of Jesus Christ. I hand blended a little texture with my original photograph in black and white, to compliment the old world feel of this classic Italian cemetery scene.

I'm a travel photographer and photo artist. I like to explore every nook and cranny of anywhere I visit and I'm always looking out for something unusual or unique, weird and wonderful, interesting and intriguing. For me, half the challenge is in the initial taking of the photo, the looking for something that catches my attention, getting that perfect composition, but the other half is in the processing, the tweaking and twisting and the addition of a little imagination to see how much detail I can bring to the surface and hopefully let the viewer see the same as I did when I took the shot. My images have been shot here, there and everywhere, mainly in the historic cities of Europe and with the occasional one taken in my own surroundings...
