Oh my...This is such a great shot! I can imagine how quiet and "breath catching" it must have been just by looking at this.

The phrase 'Stark Beauty' is even more
appropriate here.

it's amazing how the man made structures seem to coexist with their living natural neighbors, the trees. it's as if the tomb stones are trying to grow like the trees

It would seem that like the others, I seem to be incapable of offering anything constructive. However, I would like to express my appreciation of such a piece.

I have been fascinated with cemeteries for as long as I can remember. Perhaps its the must silence, or the peace of the souls that sleep in these places for eternity. It all really shows here.

You make me want winter again. & to finally get the courage to go to a cemetery and take their pictures...

i think i used to live right next to this place, it looks very familiar and there was no photography allowed even outside in the graveyard part of the property...so it's a risk besides breaking in to the chapel.

thats a very beautiful place. i find hauted things very intristing. i have always lived in a house that was haunted and i have come to enjoy it as i got older. when i was younger i couldn't stand it. i almost ran away because of it. now i just say hello and move on..

My favorite shoot so far. the markers all facing the steps that lead, where else, upwards.

I have no sarcastic or clever comments for this one. It's just bloody amazing looking. Beautiful. Enough to make one want to go to the spot where the photograph was taken and just kind of settle in and gaze about for an hour or two. Two thumbs up, man.

Reminds me of that scene from Phantom of the Opera, a graveyard in snow.. what could be more silent?

I thought of the same thing as Rin did. I thought of the 2004 Phantom of the Opera cemetery scene. It's beautiful.

Many people fear death, but this shot makes death seem rather peaceful.

Impressive shot, Mr. Motts.
