Simple Joy, Woodmere Cemetery at Sunset

Uploaded: December 21, 2005

Description

f/22, 1/90s, 17 mm, ISO 200. Woodmere is an old cemetery in Detroit. Sometimes there is simple joy in just being alive and enjoying the gifts of beauty: snow, wind, trees, sunset. We like to walk in cemeteries. We revel in the solitude and remember those passed on. HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Enjoy life! mary :-)

You're correct, Mary...we sometimes forget to the thankful for life! Thank you for reminding us. Excellent work! #2211275

Thank you so much Adilson, Mary, Kate, Kaye, and Pat for your kind and generous comments. I forgot to mention that this is another of my new RAW pictures. I've discovered that I love working in raw. I have a lot to learn. But it sure is fun! :-)

Yes, Kate, the snow is quite current and has been with us for some time. Though it might rain tomorrow, just in time for Christmas! I hope we have a white Christmas, since it's been white all month!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, everyone!!! Mary :-) #2212112

Thank you. #2233078
