The first thing that caught my attention in this cemetery was that it was so green – a think carpet of green clover (or something) covered nearly everything. It was a sunny day and the green was almost too much for my eyes to handle.

The second thing I noticed was that folding chair against a tree and facing toward the headstones.

And then after that, I noticed that chair was chained and padlocked to the tree. It felt like a sad story.
