    Thanks for looking.

    This is in rural NY where farming, as well as the farmers, are dying.

    Very cool capture. If that was local I would be hanging out all the time catching different temperaments of the shot. And the snow is a good one!

    I like this shot Willard3, wonder what the history is for those graves.
    Is it one family's plot? or a town plot?

    They seem so close together, some have fallen over,
    guess no one is looking after the site.... that's too bad for historical value.

    I must say I did chuckle to myself when I first looked at the shot,
    I thought oh dear they've buried everyone in the backyard :oogle

    Very good shot thumb.gif .... Skippy :D

    Thanks for looking.

    It's a family plot that related at one time or other to this farm. Family plots are no longer allowed where this site is.
