This place really caught my eye and I hope to get the chance to visit the place sometime. I did a litte re-touching but didn't need to much as the photographer did an awesome job with their photography.
On 3 October 1918, the 1st King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry captured Prospect Hill, after Le Catelet and Gouy had been taken by the 50th (Northumbrian) Division, the 6th Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and the 4th King's Royal Rifle Corps. The cemetery was made by the 50th Division and the 18th Field Ambulance immediately after. Plot I formed the original cemetery but this was increased after the Armistice when graves were brought in, mainly from the battlefields north of Gouy, and almost exclusively of men who died in October 1918.
The cemetery contains 538 Commonwealth burials and commemorations of the First World War. 115 of the burials are unidentified and a special memorial commemorates one casualty believed to be buried among them. A group of graves in Plot IV, Row F, are identified as a whole but not individually. The cemetery also contains the grave of one Commonwealth airman of the Second World War.
The cemetery was designed by Sir Herbert Baker

Foundation stone 26 Sep 1873 by Mrs John Carr of Glen Grove, opened 30 Nov 1873 as Wesleyan on land donated by Thomas Jones, Methodist after Union 1900, Uniting 1977, porch 1882, vestry 1913.
“foundation-stone of a Wesleyan Church at Prospect Hill, near Meadows. . . At 6 o'clock the assembly repaired to the old church at Spring Grove, where the Rev. J. Y. Simpson delivered his popular lecture on ‘Old-Fashioned Gateways’. . . His gateways were the five senses, called by Bunyan Eye-gate, Nose-gate, Ear-gate, Mouth-gate, and Feel-gate. The address was an intellectual treat. . . The church is to be built of local stone.” [Adelaide Observer 4 Oct 1873]
“the diamond jubilee of the Prospect Hill Methodist church was held. . . In the earlier days, religious services were held in the homes of the pioneers, then a small structure was erected on the range road and known as Mount Ephriam [sic]. Here, today, in the burial ground stand several monuments to departed pioneers. Then, to suit the convenience of many, another structure was erected, known as Spring Grove, about three-quarters of a mile from the present church, on the now main road, alternative services and Sunday school being held here. This building was later sold for £5, and the present building erected. . . Ten years later a porch was added, and in 1913 a vestry, which could be used as a kindergarten room and for social purposes. . . The present pulpit came from Mount Ephraim church when that was closed.” [Mount Barker Courier 2 Dec 1943]
“The Committee had besides subscribing carted all the material, including stones from the quarry, sand from the pit, slates from Willunga, timber from the city, &c., work amounting in value to £57 11s. 6d. The Rev. M. Wilson congratulated the meeting upon the erection of a neat and commodious place of worship in an old circuit where he had laboured.” Register 2 Jan 1874]

Shades State Park is a lovely site located in Montgomery, Parke, and Fountain counties in western Indiana. It is located 47 miles west-northwest of Indianapolis, between Rockville and Crawfordsville.
In the last decades of the 19th century, the area was a resort with a forty-room inn. In the 1930s a man named Joseph Frisz acquired the land in order to protect it and purchased more land around. His heirs sold the land in 1947 to the holding company "Save the Shades," who in turn gave the land to the state to create Indiana's 15th state park.
Originally, the area was known as the "Shades of Death." There is debate as to why it got that name. Some say it was due to the way the trees cast their shadow on the ground below, making it look like a black forest. Others say it was because of a settler's death, although details are unclear and contradictory.
Steep sandstone cliffs within the park were formed when Indiana was covered by ocean hundreds of millions of years ago. Fossils can be found on the nearby sandbars.
Located in the eastern end of the state park, the 470-acre Pine Hills Nature Preserve protects the deep canyons formed by Indian Creek before it enters Sugar Creek. The primary feature in the preserve is the "Devils Backbone," a 100-foot-high stone ridge barely wide enough for the trail to cross. The preserve was the first dedicated nature preserve in Indiana, and was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1968 under the name "Pine Hills Natural Area."
