In a place like this, I feel the chances are bigger for meeting the devil than God :-)) Great composition and frightening effects. Could have been from a movie ... Great picture Kaylin!

I like the treatment you've given the photo. The composition is great. The grassy passage leads the eye nicely to the distant structure. I think the title of the photo is perfect.

@Mike: Thanks so much Mike!! Yes down here we call these above ground cemeteries "The Cities of The Dead". They really do look like little cities. It's strange sometimes.

A lot of Passion and Pain in this photo..I'm torn between saying 'I'm so sorry' and 'Wow'

Now I almost expect to see Dr. John second-lining his way out of one of these places. Your processing has made for a really dramatic interpretation of this cemetery. I'm guessing Canal St./Blvd. or Metairie Rd?

@Viewfinder: Yep haha Greenwood cemetery I believe ... goodness I hope Dr. John does not come out .... it would scare the crap out of me :D
