Ian submitted this photo with the comment “Due to the silhouette, it is impossible to judge if my clothes are goth enough for this photo to count as a goth up a tree. All I can give you is my word that I was entirely clad in black. Hopefully, the hair/coat length will count for something.”

Ian, old mate, your silhouette indicates a high level of gothness so no further proof is required. 

In this photo, Ian appears to be a Goth invoking his inner monkey by moonlight.  What better type of light to invoke your inner monkey than moonlight, I say.  It definitely makes for a striking photo.  He must have been hanging pretty still to get this shot (apart from his head which shows a bit of movement but Goth monkeys don’t stay still for long).  I can only guess that he’s not smiling - I’m picturing a kind of surprised face like this.  He looks like he’s dangling from a reasonable height up the tree and no one can argue that it’s not night-time. 

4.7 out of 5 - Invoke your inner Goth monkey by moonlight
