This huge barren tree probably dates back to the founding of this cemetery in 1840. By photographing it from a distance, I am able to stress its age though its size, comparing it to a life sized sculpture, as well as three large gravestones standing at its base. It was raining as I made this image -- the only color was in the grass. By changing the photograph to black and white, that color vanishes, leaving the incongruous scale difference to tell the story without distraction.
