Tree Shadows

Tree Shadows
I decided to take route 1 - Post Road (those who live on East Coast of the US will know it as the road that originally went from Florida to Maine) to navigate between Connecticut and Rhode Island. Saw this old graveyard with what I thought was a church but was a huge masoleum.

It was too good to overlook so I went in. It was Halloween Day and I was a little nervous about being the only one there except for another couple and in my mind, who knew what they were doing. There was only one path around.

I drove around looking at the graves. We are so lucky on the east coast as the history of our country is rich around here. Interesting gravestones. However, there is something always a little erie about the shadows that emanate from the trees particular when there are gravestone on either side. I skeedadled out of there as soon as I saw the gate. tee hee.

, , Karen's Place, Don Sutherland have particularly liked this photo

What marvelous shadows and a nice capture, Cordia! I know Route 1 very well as I use it to go to Longwood Gardens. I use it again in northern New Jersey where my sister and in-laws live. You are quite right about how lucky we are to live in such a history-rich part of the country :-)

Beautiful autumnal view! I like to walk on old cemeteries, there are a lot of interesting gravestones and sculptures.

Your photo fits also very good to All Saints' Day, which is celebrated today!

great autumnal feel to this, and you've caught the rather lost and empty feel of the place
