Tombstone Sunset by Scott Ruhs

This photo of a silhouetted cross against a beautiful sunset was taken in Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada right across the street from my house. My then girlfriend, now wife pointed out the cross, so I got down to ground level and took the shot. I was using a Canon PowerShot A640 camera at the time.
This was the very first image that I added to RedBubble and it has been one of my most popular images for views, comments, and favoritings to date.

Pete and Lisa
Thank you for your kind words. This was taken right across the street from my house. The cross was behind the recently built fast food restaurant. It was rumoured that someone working on the construction site had died during the construction of the restaurant and the cross was put there to mark it. I have no idea whether this was actually true, but it is an interesting story.

Peace, Love, and Good Happiness Stuff
