I guess right next to the Old Gaol in York, Maine was the perfect place for this cemetery to be situated. I asked a friend to review this pic for me and this answer is going to be my narrative for it was put so well.
"...The light that everyone says they see when they have a near-death experience is represented by the golden tree. The matter of factness of death in the tombstones; and finally, the reality: no matter how beautiful (the leaves), all things will die."
:)PJEDIT: Post #2 in my mini series...all comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
The sunlight on those yellow leaves is definitely the soul of this image. Lovely.

Very good PJ. Your friend left out the hanging tree that helps anchor the scene. lol. It is beautiful.
I agree with Jen about your batteries. I had to take mine out of my camera when I shipped it. lol

"I hope you have beautiful colors where you are in the world" Photo.net newsletter (~8
Ah, yes, the narrative is quite true, but may I add that the leaves return to the place from where they came as do we. Wonderful lighting on this scene, PJ. All those fallen leaves must have come from the large tree in the foreground. I see that the yellow leaved trees are more tenacious in keeping their leaves to the last. Those gravestones are very old from the looks of them, so thin and leaning over.
Nice shadows and wonderful color. A wonderful find well captured for our enjoyment too.

Beautiful colours and very wel lit. Seen lots of graveyard pics but never one like this. Gravestones looking very old and to and with all the trees the cemetery seems to be getting swallowed up by the forest. Great image.

Those tombstones look so old, there may be Pilgrims buried there. Whoever your friend is that wrote that to you, is a very wise person, and a deep thinker. No pun intended. Excellent fall post, PJ.

I cannot add more than Sandi has said above that it is a wonderful image. The mix of light, colour and composition is fantastic. I think Brahms summed up in music what your friend said, very eloquently in words with THIS movement of his Requiem, "Denn alles Fleisch, es ist wie Gras".

Perfect shot for the season, I reckon ... the grave stones really make the shot. The colors and wonderful, and the comp is good, as usual. Nice work, Peej :)

I like the commentary; although I'm not sure it's the light of a near-death experience for me, more the light of hope and life even in the shadow of death. A nice post PJ, with terrific autumn colours and some interesting juxtapositions.

Found this scene to be very attractive while strolling through your gallery. Loved it even more upon bringing it up full screen. As for your friends comment, it's undeniably truthful and profound ... yet, as I approach 75 ... allow me to focus on the beauty of your image rather than the "reality". :o)
