Hayden's Gate - cemetary photo's

by sio2ga

This is an abandoned cemetery deep in the woods down an abandoned logging road. I happened on this while looking for old kaolin mines for fossils. I just happened to stop to take a leak and barely caught an upraised hand in the distance an
d just a hint of a wrought iron fence. This has the grave of Hayden Hughes consort. The writing on the consorts grave stoicly proclaims that "here lie the remains" and the word consort is plainly visible. What is unusual is that the more ornate grave has a mariners theme and religious symbols such as a cross are noticeably absent. The wrought iron posts have somewhat of a cross but given the lack of markings on the tombstones I'm thinking that this was not purposely ordered but rather what was readily available at the time. This is a very peculiar place and it has been calling me for some time to come capture the imagery of this place.
