A windy, lonely place
It was cold that day. And windy. The wind was so strong that it was hard to stand still enough to take a picture. I took this shot in record time, and hurried back to the warm car.
It’s too bad I was unprepared for “spring” in Michigan – which is different than “spring” in Texas – because this looks like it would have been an interesting cemetery to explore.
(Also it was so cold that I forgot to follow my usual procedure of shooting some identifying signs of the place. Through a lengthy process of looking at the other shots I took that day and referencing Google maps and street view, I determined that this was in Sharon Township. The maps didn’t give a name for the cemetery, and street view didn’t have a clear enough view of the sign that I could figure it out. But I can tell you that it’s next to the Methodist church. In case you were wondering.)

I really like the moodiness of this. Maybe that cold weather contributed to the light.

The day was pretty dark – those clouds did a good job of blocking the sun. To me, the bare tree branches add to the moodiness as well. It would have been a completely different sort of shot if I’d taken it on a cloudy day in the summer….

Lovely. I really like the contrast between the upright gravestones and the upright trees.
