Great done Kaylin, and the road leads you into the picture. Great that the horizon is so high, it gives more of the main motive in the picture. :-))

The road seems to be endless in spite of a figure on it! Very impressive photo.
I wrote an answer to your comment on my site.
I would like to know, where you are going to visit in Finland? Welcome, but remember, March is still a winter month here, not a spring time :)

Like a scene from the set of a Hammer Horror flick. Superbly observed, filled with detail and clarity and a scene which beckons me every further inwards. Utterly superb

@EYES WIDE SHUT: Thank you so much! You are right it's like that, like a horror flick a little ...

I've never seen grave yards like this before. Everything seems really tightly packed together. It's really quite spooky. Another excellent photo :)

@Mike: Thanks so much Mike :))
Yes here the water table is so high, meaning if you dig into the ground you just hit water. If the dead are burried there they have a tendency to pop back up ... soo graves are placed above ground. We don't want our relatives to pop back up haha

The red selective coloring is super in this very moody shot. There are no cemeteries like these, anywhere. Cool work, Kaylin.

Some special graves? ;-)
Any info on this graveyard? (Just curious, you know... :-)

@MadScientist: Oh yes ... sorry I always forget to say things.
This is a very large cemetery in New Orleans called Greenwood. It's a little ways outside the city. It only goes back to the mid 1800's. The Saint Louis cemeteries closer to the middle of the city go back to the 1700s.
@Steve Rice: Thanks so much Steve!
Melanie from Switzerland
Excellent!
It was a good idea to keep the flowers in colors!

@Melanie: Yes thank you :) I just thought I didn't want to see a completely black and white photograph.
