Thanks guys. This was shot during an April 05 trip to the area. The Virginia City Cemetery (Gold Hill Cemeteries) is really an amazing glimpse into the history of the area, and far better than any movie set. I have some of the historical background in the pbase gallery:http://www.pbase.com/cindyd/virginia_city_ if anybody is interested. I'm fortunate to be heading back there for a week this April, and I'm really looking forward to it. This would be one fantastic night shooting locale . . . but I believe they lock the gates at sunset . . .probably a good call since there are ventilation shafts into the mines scattered around this place! :) Cindy

You've caught this image perfectly. It simultaneously creates an uplifting and eerie feeling.

Very dramatic... and of course composed just perfectly with the sun aligned behind the cross. Super work. Regards jnconradie
