I love everything about this .... the serenity is awesome. A beautiful tribute, chard. I even like that truck going by .. a symbol of our freedom.

This is really cool, Richard! Two angels, seemingly, in the middle of nowhere,, praying for the departed. Beautiful.

Wonderful shot - so pioneer means that this is a cemetery of the first settlers?

@equinoxe yes, this area was not settled until the 1880's and this small cemetery is one of the oldest. the historical society has been replacing some of the oldest stones, but leaving the originals on the plot.
