The slope
Churchyard of St Mary's, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, sloping gently downwards to the River Gade. In geological time, everything will go down this slope, all the graves that were dug in here over the centuries and, finally, the church building itself. In geological time, the almost 800 years of St Mary standing here are just a blip. However, from within the boundaries of this moment we must reflect the beginning and end of time. Walking the slope is a good way of doing it. Sony A7iii plus Pentacon 3.5/30.
