    Sorry Terry, but I'm having trouble getting into this one. I see that it's by the sea, compact and under cloud cover, despite direct sun just beyond the wall and it's right next to a fort. It documents the locale, but doesn't really get me deeply interested. I might have taken my 15mm fish-eye and gotten right down at the base of one of the stones, with the water or fort showing one way and many of the other stones showing the other. I might have also tried to get a sunburst peaking around the edge of one of the stones. I also might have pulled out the 70-200mm and tried to find an angle where stones lined up and I could shoot through the rows and see the sea or fort at infinity.

    Sorry, but this tells me, "Terry was here." and not much else.

    Dave, thanks for your comments. I was not trying to be artsy with the image. I found the cemetery to be a rare find and wanted to share with the others...Terry

    Doug, here is a different section of the same cemetery. A unique facility with most of the graves above ground...Terry Johnson

    Hi Terry, always nice to see such places if even for interest sake. The first image has an almost miniature look to it. I find the yellow lines to be rather funny as not one of them is straight. TFS.

    Hi, Terry, I like the second image much better - it gives you a better feel for the cemetary from a higher plane. Interesting that it's that close to the water which is why the crypts are above ground I would guess?
