Weekly challenge #162 "Where Angels Fear to Tread...."

Dark stairways, Creepy doors, Sinister looking Forest paths....anywhere that would make you think twice before venturing further. What could be Lurking there.......

Challenge ends on Monday April 4th at Midnight BST.

The fine print....
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.

4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose 1 of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus a day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax camera will do or a Samsung DSLR.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.

Here's an example to get things going....

[Arjay Bee]

Even a fool would know not to put a foot near this one.

This whole place was so toxic that I decided I would never go in here again.

Full Moon Night at the Haunted Church

Beneath the hills of northern Alabama



Shot with either a Pentax KM or MX. It was over 30 years ago and even I fear to tread in places like this any more.

[Mark Morb]

Some really nice entries already....Keep 'em coming.....

What can be spookier than a dark tower on a foggy night?


NaCl(note that the well lit colorful ice skaters at the base of the tower have been carefully cropped )H2O

This is now my entry...the other house I was hoping to get to for a shot. A tighter crop of my 3/30 SiM shot. Wish it could have been a little closer to night time, but it was dreary and rainy. Even the tree is looking at you.


Who's Behind the Door?

[kardinal]

I got the opportunity to see Godspeed You! Black Emperor the other night and I felt like this shot matches the theme this week quite well (and if you've ever heard their music, it also matches quite well, haha).

Thanks for all the entries so far....a few more would be nice :-)

[jmschrei]

Something about this disappearing pathway seemed to suit an infrared treatment which adds to the "creepiness" factor:

I take this is not a time specific challenge i.e. shots taken this week only? If it is then I am disqualified (again), just don't ask xjjohnno. It seems to be more theme challenged. If so, thought I would post this one.

This old abandoned building has been used by someone..
