Imageblog: Graveyard Under Winter Trees

By Robert K. Foster

Graveyard Under Winter Trees

A color photo of a centuries old graveyard.

I did a number of versions of this graveyard in black and white but this color photo gives a sense of the gentle kind of light here. What I like about this scene is the almost frail quality that everything has yet all of this has been here for hundreds of years. The pines are thin but strong. The gravestones are small but still standing. There is mostly moss instead of grass here. It is all much more understated then the type of gravestones and graveyards that we tend to see in our own time. And of course the combination of greens and browns and grays under the protection of the trees seems quite pleasant. Not a bad place to spend an eternity.
