Cemetery, Keeler, California, 2006

The graves of a husband and wife rest on a hillside above the distant highway. Someone has taken the time and effort to border both graves with stones. In a way, these borders are more of memorial than the headstones themselves. They show that someone still cares. I made this image with a 28mm wideangle lens, shooting straight into a sun setting beyond the distant hills. A few seconds after I made this photograph, it was dark and we left the occupants of these graves to rest in peace.
