struggle

Sego Canyon, Utah

as if the countryside was not harsh enough, working as a miner over 100 years ago would also have been challenging...at the entrance to Sego Canyon, the town's modest cemetery speaks volumes about the struggle for life here

I wonder how alone people often were...a sad scene.

Hmm,I guess good fences make good neighbors even in a cemetery.

Long forgotten souls. A very thoughtfully captured image. V

A poignant image. Desolate, alone yet not forgotten. V

I like the perspective you chose here. It gives the scene a deeper meaning than if you had chosen to avoid the cemetery. V

A harsh but beautiful place, the cemetery an indication of man's restlessness. V

The perspective is on the money David! A light coat of snow depicts the rugged nature. V

This reminds of some of the things we have seen on previous trips and also something I have seen like it here, only this seems to be in an even more remote place. Your image conveys both the beauty and desolation of the place very well. ~V~

Such a desolate place to land up in - some interesting lives gathered here. Love your shot V

How strange that caged grave in such a wide open majestic landscape. There must be a story here!

Well observed, described and photographed. A lonely, but ruggedly beautiful place for this little cemetery.

A very interesting and well shot scene, David. Rugged country and a very hard life for the miners.
Helen Betts14-Jan-2017 21:01
Excellent clarity and an interesting scene. The rugged landscape certainly gives an idea of how difficult life must have been there.
