Great sim to clear your head :)
This is an abandoned cemetary deep in the woods down an abandoned logging road. I happened on this while looking for old kaoline 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 proclaimes that "here lie the remains" and the word consort is plainly visible. What is unusual is that the more ornate grave has a mariners them and religious symbols such as a cross are noticeably absent. The wrought iren 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.
Ahhh, finally the cemetary.
I haven't been here in over ten years, and I kept missing the road every time I looked, and this year I finally found my way back. Kinda sad, since it's about a twenty minute walk from my house. There's nothing but forests and fields for quite a ways, and it's on country back roads, so cars are a rarity. I used to love just wandering out here with friends. A good nostalgia trip.

I love the step design of their cemeteries, built into the side of a hill...maximizing that space. They employ grave "diggers" who have to dig up the old bodies, compact them down and re-store them in smaller locations all in the name of making room for the new ones.
Driving home today and noticed that someone had decorated the new fence around the city cemetary for the 4th of July. Colorful!
Remix created with cem10 by BluTat2 and my Sky Portal for Theme and Variations. Unfortunately, the picture could only be as large as the original cemetary photo, so there isn't a Large size. None the less, it's best viewed in Original size. This was created for comparison to The War Trap and Burning City.
