Cemetery Near the Coast | Sacramento Fine Art Photographer

This is a re-post from mid 2015. I find such peace and pleasure exploring cemeteries, reading the headstones. But, I haven't photographed in a cemetery in awhile.  I think it's about time. Who wants to join me?  Toward the top of the rolling hills near the coast, my friend and I discovered yet another cemetery that had been part of the community for a very long time.  While the sun was shining maybe a bit too strongly and the breeze was blowing just perfectly, I felt such peace in this lovely location.  The headstones in the cemetery were modest although there was plenty of evidence of love and remembrance.   Many of the headstones were handmade/carved; some were painted, some were not.  I don't usually convert my images, but this set seemed to tell the story best in black and white.
