Sunday Sunset - Sort Of...

 Heading out to find the setting sun, you can see that we were a bit too late.


No matter. On the way home, I thought the cemetery looked lovely in the growing twilight.




Coincidental that we came upon the license plate?


Gravestones lean in twilight’s breath,

 soft as silence, still as death.

Moths drift low on velvet wings,

 night begins its whisperings.

 A single star, a lantern high—

hope flickers in the darkening sky.

I break for graveyards and cemeteries too! I love them, and shooting them. Love the silhouette. I worked on silhouettes last week with one of my larger minis. Not really even a mini, she's a crow/raven thing. Very cool. Anyway, loved your photos. Very, very cool looking.

Those are really cool pictures, Ginny. The first one with the sunset and the lights from the road is neat, and those cemetery ones are so lovely in their own way. Isn't that something that you came across that license plate - it sounds like they have a lot of respect for the cemetery.

FABULOUS cemetery shots, Ginny! WOW I don't think I have ever seen a tree silhouetted in a cemetery at sundown before! And you know I need me one of those I BRAKE FOR CEMETERIES bumper stickers! xoxo

I'm also loving the cat in your new header. Those eyes...
