The graveyard of St Oswald's Church in the Lakes District village of Grasmere where the poet William Wordsworth and his family are buried. Wordsworth and his family were regular worshipers at St. Oswald's. In the peaceful churchyard his wife Mary, their children Dora, Catherine and Thomas, his sister Dorothy and others close to the family are also buried. They lie in the shade of a yew tree, one of eight planted by Wordsworth himself in this churchyard.

Does remind me that a graveyard will be the final destiny for the body of a lot of us, Frank.
Serene scene however, captured very well.

A rather historic spot Frank - one of my favorite poets too.

Imagine planting the tree that you would be buried under. This is such a sunny green spot that looks so peaceful. Nice one.

A good perspective in the photo and capture of the graveyard, Frank.

Sometimes the appropriate response to reality is to go insane. -- Philip K. Dick, Valis
