Great capture

Those colorful blooms add some life to this gray and somber scene... of course, the blue skies help! Nicely composed photo!

@calm What's interesting is that it really was raining. Half the sky appeared to be blue, since the rain was moving in. I did capture one scene with the rain. I took this particular one because of the Crape Myrtle tree (plus the beautiful graves).

Impressive looking cemetery and a great capture, Danette.

[Kareen King]

Very stunning images with a lovely sky as well!

[Junan Heath]

Lovely, peaceful capture! So beautiful!

[Gena Pegg]

Gorgeous image...beautifully captured. The graveyards in this part of the south are so interesting. From what I understand the burials are above ground because of the flooding that occurs so often.

I thought "Louisiana" when I saw Metarie...and so it is you're visiting there! Absolutely beautiful!

[Julia]

Beautiful!
