The village cemetery is now full or no longer open to burials. It is an interesting question what you do with a cemetery that is "inactive". Already, this old graveyard is being used as an area of recreation. "Active" are only the living, unless the dead are still working for us, the living, by giving us a space for contemplation.

An Geburtstagen spielte er ein Ständchen.

The sun sets on the old gas works. Although it has not been used to produce gas from coal since the 1970s, it still retains a presence across the road from the City Park.
The vertical retort building was where methane gas was produced from coal. This gas was then stored in the gasometer. Only the frame of that still exists in the foreground.

And one of my favorite trees in the entire valley is this old Red Maple (Acer rubrum ) up in the Pelham hills. Red Maples are one of the most common native maples here in the Northeastern part of the United States. This one is massive and very, very old standing alone at the edge of an old farm meadow where it enjoys full sun and no competition from other trees. And it turns these brilliant shades of scarlet every Autumn.
Found this bench along the boardwalk at the Grass River Natural Area in Bellaire, MI

A group of very old and weathered trees, Yosemite National Park.
For as long as I’ve gone to the Sierra I have marveled at trees eking out an existence on little more than whatever collects in narrow cracks in granite. These slow-growing trees are often seem stunted and twisted, and sometimes they seem more dead than alive. But portions of the trees carry on, slowly putting out new growth. The texture and coloration of the wood of these trees seems almost to have more in common with the granite than with other trees.
We were surprised by rain on our recent visit to the Yosemite high country. The clouds softened the light, revealing details that might otherwise be lost in harsh shadows. This vignette includes much of what I see in such trees. There is a central section with strong growth, but to the right is one of those gray trunks that is almost granitic, to the point that lichen grows on it.

So today's photo is gonna be something different from my other photos. In fact, I shot this pic accidentally. But what do you think? :) ©[http://www.flickr.com/photos/99933540@N05/]
Has long been a photographer favorite. The seedlings and spruce trees are increasingly ruining the shot.
Here is what it looked like in 2018:
