2/11 - Moon over Restland

Restland Memorial Park, Dallas view map

Shot this evening just before sundown at a local cemetary not far from the house. Does anyone else dislike the practice of flat headstones to make mowing easier? I miss unique grave markers, at least the photographer in me does.

February is Black and White month for many of us PADers. Check out Gary Winters PAD page or Bob Townsend's Topic for a list of those participating.

Alternate shot done on the way home and left in color.

nice framing on the moon. Well done.

Wow! Interesting composition with the multiple levels of view. Very nice. I agree about the headstones.

Bob, an OUTSTANDING image. It's odd that we both shot in cemetaries, and I found myself looking down at the detail, and you found the POV of the larger scene. Of course, the moon makes this shot really special, as do the barren trees, and the darkness beneath the faraway trees.

Man, that's just beautiful against that winter sky. Why must black and white month be the shortest month of the year? This work has been gorgeous. And yes, my brother- I miss the elaborate headstones and detest the "easy to mow" style of modern bone yards. That is why we have weed-eaters! *sigh* Love those winter trees....

the flat headstones do give it the look of a ... well... a golf course! Nice lighting

I agree, there is something not quite right about the flat headstones. Good shot.
