      This is the best yet.
      You really do need to get your work printed, mounted and framed, and put together an exhibition of your work for a gallery showing.
      It is really of that quality and deserves to be seen in that atmosphere.
      Keep it up.

      Just monkeying around....like Monsanto

            Absolutely wonderful.

            And what an interesting topic. I hadn't seen the term "lych gate" before so I looked it. I think one could spend a lifetime collecting images of them.

              I had to look it up too. Thanks for adding to the obscure words in my vocabulary.

              Very nice render and post. ๐Ÿ‘

                  Thanks folks. Dale I send them off to be printed, into a folder, then into the draw. Dave I knew you would find Lych gates interesting, they all seem to follow a similar theme but are all individual.
                  PS. save the image and zoom in!!

                    Interesting (and noce job!)
                    I had to look it up too ๐Ÿ˜‰
                    Lych = corpse, and in Norwegian corpse = lik (pronounced 'leek')
                    Can't say I have heard a Norwegian term for such a Lych gate though - and neither have Google Translate..

                      A little morbid, found this on Wiki...

                      The word lych survived into modern English from the Old English or Saxon word for corpse, mostly as an adjective in particular phrases or names, such as lych bell, the hand-bell rung before a corpse; lych way, the path along which a corpse was carried to burial (this in some districts was supposed to establish a right-of-way); lych owl, the screech owl, because its cry was a portent of death; and lyke-wake, a night watch over a corpse (see Lyke-Wake Dirge).

                      In the Middle Ages when most people were buried in just shrouds rather than coffins, the dead were carried to the lych gate and placed on a bier, where the priest conducted the first part of the funeral service under its temporary shelter

                          once again
                          great work on that gate tadema.
                          Do you create textures for every work you do or do you have a folder with basic textures which you then layer with dirt (or moss) in photoshop?

                          I wish I could sit on the chair next to yours while you work in one of your images...

                            Mods, please can you stop John posting photographs up and claiming them for his own 'renders'. I find this very unfair on the rest of us.

                              Beautiful work...as always, John. The texturing is a marvel to behold.
                              I'm surprised that so many people haven't heard the term before, but I suppose they're so ubiquitous in England that we just take them for granted and think everyone else has them too.
                              Here's a link to a wide collection of them....never seen two the same. There's some nice textures to be extracted from the larger versions of some of the pics.

                                Interesting topic.
                                We do have them in Norway too, but I wasn't aware of their function in the past, and afaik we don't use such a specific name for it.
                                Here's a nice, old one:

                                      Wonderful model and render - you just get better and better...

                                      @bjornkn - as an aside... there are many wonderful 'stave' churches in Norway. When I was visiting some of them a few years ago I was struck by how many of the locals who were buried in the churchyard shared the same name - 'Fred' - which seemed to be engraved on most tombstones... however, I soon realized that it's used in the sense of 'RIP' on British gravestones - 'Rest In Peace' - as 'Fred' is of course 'Peace' in Norwegian but 'Fred' is a first-name in English... ๐Ÿ˜’
