A windy, lonely place

020914

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.)
