These weathered headstones are in the oldest part of the cemetery at St. John's Presbyterian church in Belfast, PEI, Canada. It would make an unusual desktop I realize, however, I was attracted by the contrast of the weathered stone and the fresh green grass.

Very interesting capture Dave of mostly old but in the background, some new. Very nice depth and clarity. Good work and thanks for sharing this.

These appear to be very old stones. They do contrast nicely with the green grass and I find it interesting that you put the one stone in the right foreground. It's also one of those shots that make you stop and think.

Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel. -Josemaria Escriva

They look as though they are almost unison in height and color Dave. This is an interesting photo. I can't honestly say I'll put it on my desktop but I've enjoyed looking at it very much.

Beautiful subject Dave. Nicely composed. Good color saturation. A little high on the contrast on my screen - losing detail in the tombstones. Nice shot.anne :-)

Don't tell me it's good, tell me what is good about it. Don't tell me it stinks, tell me what I can do do improve it. Thank you for taking the time to tell me anything at all. Be blessed. anne :-)
