Autumn's Haunting Reminder - 4559

Since our Thanksgiving plans were curtailed this year, my wife and I decided to do a backroad trip to at least enjoy the fall colours.

 

We came across this church with a spectucular view of the valley and escarpement. We needed to stretch our legs and decided to stroll the church's Cemetery. (The ultimate in “social distancing”.)

 

For the most part the grounds are well kept, except for a portion on a hill, where the grounds crews have let it go. I found this scene haunting, looking at the grave monuments amongst the weeds allowed to grow. I began to wondered what the resting Scotish settlers from the early 1800's would have faced back in their day of some 200+ years ago.
