This is the Solebury Friends Quaker Cemetery, which is about 2 miles from my house. The cemetery and meethinghouse were established in 1803. The small structure in the photos is the caretaker's shed.

I love the way the tree shadows and perspective lead you eye to the tree trunk in #1. I think B/W was a very good choice for this series.

Nice series. I agree about the B&W choice. I like the streaming light and footprints in #2.

Excellent subject (backlit graveyard in the snow with an awesome silhouetted tree), my favorites are #1 and #3. It looks like #1 has a very slight leftward lean? Anyway, very nice series.

Thanks for looking and commenting, folks!

Ron, thanks for pointing out that lean. I'll have to double check that.

Love the lighting and the exposures on these Linda.

I agree with Daniel. Great exposure and treatment on these, Linda! The third seems a little dark, but I ache to see a Muench star from the sun behind that tree!

Thanks for sharing the peaceful stillness of the snow.

Thanks, Dan and Steph!

Steph, my original plan was to place a "star" behind that tree but my attempts did not look very good. OK, they looked like crap. So I thought I'd play around with a low contrast shot to make it look like a night shot.

Nice series. I'd have to say #3 is my favorite. I really like the long shadows from the tombstones.
