When I saw @CaylaCatz post below, the first thing that came to mind was an autobiography by Gelsey Kirkland that I read over 30 years ago called 'Dancing on my Grave' and I thought it would make a great topic for an image series. https://budgetpixel.com/p/98618

About this image
This haunting dark fantasy artwork depicts an ethereal Swan Lake ballerina en pointe atop a weathered stone tomb beneath a glowing full moon. The cool silvery monochrome palette, wispy fog, flickering candlelight, and ornate gothic cemetery architecture create a deeply melancholic, dreamlike romantic goth
A dark romantic ballerina in a flowing burgundy tulle tutu executes a gravity-defying grand jeté above a fog-shrouded gothic graveyard, wispy smoke curling from her dress. A huge glowing full moon hangs behind the spires of a ruined stone cathedral, while flickering candlelight and wilted dark roses adorn weathered old tombs. The mood is ethereal, haunting, and dramatic, blending classical ballet grace with moody dark fantasy gothic styling.
This haunting gothic fantasy artwork features a pale ghostly ballerina dancing en pointe atop a weathered stone tomb under a bright full moon. She wears a frayed, ivy-dusted tulle ballet gown and flower crown, surrounded by swirling mist, lit candelabras, black roses, and translucent spirit brides standing

It really was incredible. We were in old town Prague, dressed fancy. The theatre was very old, and had no AC. It was sweltering in there, but while they were dancing, we hardly noticed the heat. I definitely recommend, but try for a cooler day, or a more modern theatre that has AC. lol.

I was lucky enough to see Swan Lake in Prague about 5 years ago. They were awesome, and so was the ballet. That's what I'm comparing yours to.
Beautiful images, love the whole set! Although I admit to checking the headstones for my name to see if you were dancing on my grave...
Fantastic! Great idea and excellent images. Number 2 is my favorite; if you allow me, I'll use it as inspiration for a series of images.
wow! these are fabulous. I love the way you did the wispy tendrils of fabric

Thank you! 🤍 I imagine that was an amazing experience! I never saw swan lake in person.
Thanks Sealine! I'll be doing something in the next few days.🤍
@DavidP ·
never heard of her, but great images
@DavidP ·
I figured, especially knowing your love of ballet

Thank you! 🤍 And that's pretty morbid! Rest assured, I would not be dancing on your grave! And just to clarify, I mean rest and not eternal rest 😘
