HiI came across this series of symbols while visiting Lawnswood cemetery near where I live. .there are also some more pics of the symbols in my flickr collection.The symbols are fitted into brick built obelisks / gateposts opposite to the entrance to the cemetery on the Otley road, i dont know if there was a mansion house or something here previously or if this has always just been a car park for the cemetery. I actually uncovered one of the symbols on the furthest left brick built obelisk by wrenching down loads of ivy and brambles so it hadnt been seen for many years - felt like I was in that film 'the da vinci code'! Does anyone know what these symbols are all about, they seem to have some sort of religious significance. Johnny

Hi, I've no idea if the symbols are religious, masonic, mystical or what, I thought somebody on here might know but I seem to have drawn a blank!Here is another of the weird symbols opposite Lawnswood cemetery entrance. This one is of a pelican feeding its young?!? WTF?! The full set can be seen on FLickr..

there are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand ternary, those that don't and those that think this a joke about the binary system.

Hi BrandyI dont know if its cos I'm not a paying member of Flickr but I dont seem to be having any success with posting a link to my Flickr photos on here.http://www.flickr.com/photos/12267018@N00/If you copy and paste the link above into your URL address bar you might have more luck than actually clicking it which doesnt seem to work for some reason.
