Description

This photo was taken on October 2,2006, one of the last warmer days this past Fall, at 1:43PM at a place called Perkinstown Cemetery in Perkinstown, WI. The cemetery is nearly 150 years old. Perkinstown is an old logging town. Many of my relatives settled in this area when they first came to north central Wisconsin. As you can see the people buried there have simple wooden crosses in the mix with traditional modern day headstones. The cemetery is still funtioning today, yet holds it's rustic old world charm. It is a peaceul, serene place to come and sit and has a beauty words alone cannot describe. The equipment used to shoot this image was a Canon EOS 20D with a Canon EFS 18-55mm lens. Shutter speed was 1/160 second; aperture at F/5; focal length of 43mm; metering mode was pattern; exposure compensation at 0.
