Hi Stone Club... Ossian’s Grave (Lubitavish Court Tomb) at Glenann in the Glens of Antrim. A memorial stone cairn was erected for John Hewitt in the same field

Traditionally the eyes and nose tended to be triangles, the mouth jagged like many pumpkin lanterns... mine has a bit of artistic license

Hi Merisi... The teeth weren't any way traditional, rather something I came up with myself - rice - well it was 2016

Okay before we get into the pumpkin overkill season - this is a traditional Irish Jack O’ Lantern, made from a turnip. Hallowe'en as a kid... turnip Jack O’ Lanterns. I made this in 2016... be prepared to bend a spoon

Thanks for the compliment Archerx... Nearly all the B&W are Infrared most with a DIY converted digital camera (Nikon D200) and a old legacy 25mm lens
