Country Cemetary, a photo from Quebec, Central

Photographer's Note

In typical fashion each small town has its own little cemetary, which provides a historical feel for the people that lived there. Sometimes events are grafically represented such as an epidemic which touched the young and the old all at the same time. It also provides a good record of where the early founders of such small communities came from.

This picture was taken on a misty morning walk above the town.

I love how it looks like the ghosts of the past are just hanging around the cemeterty.
The way you focused on one tombstone,but didn't center it, with all the others still clear, is a great set up. I like that you chose to show the writing on one stone makes this a photo have charactor, instead of just a nameless rock, it tells a story.

Very nice photo. I think the myst adds to the feeling of the image. Nice to see good detail on the gravestone. Mind you, I've seen some in Ireland dating back to the 1700s and before. It shows the different history of the lands.

Lovely mood to this graveyard image. TFS.
