This was taken just down the road from our place in Ann Arbor, MI alongside a country road there is a little cemetary with 6 or 8 gravestones. Very easy to drive past and never notice, but on a walk on an early summer evening it was a good place for a black and white picture.

I always like these cemetery images. The B&W is just right for this type photo-the lighting is good-I like that patch of grass behind the graves. Also nicely caught shadows. Sad to see the gravestone is breaking on the one grave.Well done!

Great capture and greyscale assignment...but it IS kind of creepy! This image reminds me of the graveyard scene in the old 1975 movie version of "The Omen"...

Good choice on the black and white. It's hard not to look at those stones and wonder what life was like back in the days that someone's hands loving placed them. They have interesting names as well. Thanks for sharing this one!

My favorite places to photograph. This ones a knockout. I like the light on the lush grass outside the fence while it's barren inside and the long shadows of the bars really add to the confinement of the stones. And those are some names I've never heard before, can't have been too common even then.

There's a dignity to the shot that honors its subjects.. or should I say residents? Well done.

A well done presentation of these old gravestones. The black and white works well with these hundred plus year old stone. The sunlit is finely shown causing the shadows of the fence on these graves. A good contrast between the rich outer plant life and the drab grave area. Well you can see I REALLY like this image Kevin, as this is my second comment! :)

I need to catch up on things so can't comment too much. But I love all of your fine images :)
