A Path Highgate Cemetery
Dappled sunshine speckles a mausoleum-lined path, Highgate Cemetery, London

Speckles of dappled sunshine break through the over-growth here in this Highgate Cemetery path. Just behind the hill (left/forward), and out-of-sight, lie the graves of religious dissidents; they were not to be buried on the same ground as those of proper religious belief. One of the most notable members of this group is "Michael Faraday," early pioneer in electrical theory, whose portrait graces the 20£ note.
