The Mourners, Union Cemetery, Crescent City, California, 2009

The grave of C.J. Keeling lies off by itself in this small cemetery. Although he has been dead for 75 years, he is still mourned. Somebody has decorated the grave, perhaps to remind us that he was born 100 years ago. Using a 24mm wideangle lens, I came in close enough to show detail on the metal plate bearing his name, yet the wide focal length still enabled me to stretch the frame enough to include the three silent tree trunks that stand behind the grave – the symbolic mourners.
