Gothic Locations

All of these images were taken last weekend, in London. I went to visit my friend for the weekend and asked her if there are any gothic spooky places I could go see and photograph, that weren't too far away.  She took me to two graveyards; one in Sutton and one in Cheam. As I get scared pretty easily, just the thaught of going to the graveyard makes me feel uncomfortable. I feel like it is invading privacy of the ones who are buried there and usually tend to avoid them. That is the reason why I decided to go there, it is the one place that really scares me.
 Even though I went there in the daytime (4pm), it was starting to get darker when I got to the graveyard in Sutton. I couldn't stay there for more than 5 minutes and left (ran) after taking two photographs. Also, the first image, with the cat, is actually taken in my friends back garden.

I think the key gothic motifs in these images are mostly cold, darkness, ghostlines and decay. I'd say that demimonde is also one of them, as there is a thin line between the living and the dead; death being the biggest motif in these images. That whole day was quite gloomy and foggy and even though it is not really showing in the images, it all seemed very mysterious.
