This one really might not make great wallpaper, I just thought it was facinating. This six foot across tree trunk has wrapped around the headstone with age. It certainly shows the finality of the place. Though I couldn't see a date, most of the stones in this section are from the 1840s through the 60s Edit; Some have been confused into thinking that the stone is behind the tree. I didn't get enough distinction between the barks edge and the background. The stone is now part of the tree. When you walk up to it it's like a hand reaching above the waves struggling to be seen.

This appears { to me} like the tombstone is leaning, trying hard tp get attention from behind the tree..so as not to be forgotten! You did it a great service. Rest in Peace Nathan...!

very nice, natural colors. The stone looks very old, and that makes the scene very interesting, and mysterious, but it also looks calming as well. I really like how close the tree is to it. It looks very peaceful there. Good job

Very interesting..actually, it looks like a tree grew on top of the neclected grave for many years til it actually engulfed the headstone...kinda a sad thing.

Very unique and lovely, a bit sad too. Where was this photo taken? In your area? Good job.

Life has overtaken death. The person burried here probably has become part of this tree. Sad but an interesting concept that he could possibly be apart of life again. Nice capture.

It looks like the tree is protecting the
gravestone. Interesting picture.

Wow, this is some piece of ART!
This photo has so much to tell, it makes me raise questions of who, why and how.
One of the best subjects I have seen so far!

If you can't find the words, you may as well shoot it...
It's almost as though the gravestone is in it's last struggles to remain seen but is being sucked in by this massive tree.... very interesting peice!

When I got tired of running from you
I stopped right there to catch my breath
There your words they caught my ears
You said, “I miss you son. Come home”

The fate of the stone is less in danger in its current state that had it been left to the elements or possible local delinquents. The fate of the body is not as secure: chances are it has traveled off with the tree's root system.
Still this is an interesting photo.

It's almost like the gravestone has become part of the tree. You can almost see the same textures in both. Very interesting and unique photo. Thanks for sharing.

This is great. I have often wondered if this could happen and it seems it can. I like the angle on this and it is very clear. I'm so glad you posted this.

Some people are like slinkies, not good for anything but will give you a good laugh when you push them down the stairs. :)
This is a wonderful image. I wonder if you angled yourself slightly differently and then post processed some burn for contrast, if the tree growth around the tree would be more apparent. It's such an unusual shot.
