The Old Cemetery layout for a Small Urban Postage Stamp

Photorealistic evening photograph of a narrow two-story urban row house with a raised stoop house on a small urban postage stamp, 26 ft of street frontage with a 12 ft front setback, photographed from the public sidewalk immediately outside the front fence, close in, showing the small fenced yard and the stoop, camera height 5.5 ft. The yard is decorated in a the old cemetery theme. Leaning stones, an iron fence with a gap in it, and candles along a path that nobody has swept in years. The one Halloween theme with nothing alive in it, which is what makes people slow down instead of laugh. Decorations, in position: 1. The star: a small group of gray weathered headstones at three different heights, leaning at slightly different angles, one of them broken off short, 2 ft tall. Lean them. A stone standing straight looks like a sign; a stone tipped four or five degrees looks like the ground moved under it. Vary the angle and vary the depth they sit at. Group them unevenly, with two close together and one apart. Cemeteries are laid out in rows and then two hundred years happen to them, and it is the two hundred years you are building. 2. The stoop side: a low run of black fence panels staked along a bed edge, purple and orange light in the rails, the line of it bending rather than straight, 0.9 ft tall. Eight panels, and the run matters more than the count. Set it along the front of the plot rather than around it, so people read a boundary they are looking over instead of a box. Leave one panel out. A continuous fence says the place is maintained. 3. Fence and path lights: a line of short stakes throwing cold purple light up the edges of a walkway, no cords between them, 1.3 ft tall. Along the top of the front fence and up the short path. The fence line is the longest straight run you own. Use it. 4. Doorway and facade: a dense run of small orange bulbs following a roofline, warm and slightly sickly rather than festive, 0.2 ft tall. Frame the door and windows rather than chasing a roofline you cannot safely reach. On a narrow facade, outlining the openings does more than a gutter run would anyway. Shot at dusk with the sky still faintly blue, every lit decoration switched on and brighter than anything else in the frame, warm light spilling onto the lawn. Palette: #8C93A8, #2A2633, #7E8B6A, #E4DCC8. Nothing floats; every piece sits on the ground at the stated distance. Scale reference: the front door is 80 inches tall.
