In today’s youth culture of Vandalism it’s done very well to survive ! I took this the other day in overcast and very difficult conditions. Thanks a lot Tone !

Thanks Jim !
It’s hard to read the stone with my edit over the top, but I read it before in full resolution. His name was Cyrus, he was married and only lived 30 years.

Thanks Michael ! At this little graveyard I only photographed two plots and was amazed to get home and see that this one was for a mining Fatality in 1880. Thanks for the Fave !

Thanks very much ! I was going to make it purple for the Spiritual connotations, but it wasn’t working.

Thanks David ! I thought it looked like the most impressive headstone and when I got home I read the Epitaph – the man died in the mines in 1880.

Thank you Mekea ! The natural tones were altered a bit by the treatment.
