Description
Come—I’ll trace you one final autumn,
and you can trace your last homecoming
into the snow or the sun.
Extract from poem 'Final Autumn' by Annie Finch

Thank you. You may well live very close, as a north eastern lad! It's taken on the North Yorkshire Moors. It's the graveyard of the Church of St. Nicholas, Cockayne, Bransdale fav.me/d62xrkv

Something about graveyards always catch my attention. I don't know if it's the beauty of the landscape or the peace.

A bit of both I think. The mood of graveyard photos can change drastically with different lighting, weather etc. On a dark gloomy day with no leaves on the trees this place could have a very different feel.

That is a really detailed and interesting picture. Very autumnal.

Don't disturbed - lives and leaves both are decaying to be born in some other world.

Indeed! I find graveyards in autumn so meaningful. There seems to be hope, in that Spring and new life are only a few months away.
I know the remains beneath the gravestones have no feelings but quite illogically I find it comforting that those gravestones are within such a beautiful setting.

Actually in our religious belief we give much importance to soul
which is undestroyable and capable of rebirth. It may sound funny
but if you take those who are sleeping below the stones are capable
of new birth then spring is not far away for them too.

Thank you for commenting. You have summed it up perfectly: a beautiful and peaceful place and yet beneath the old weathered gravestones lie the remains of those who saw their last autumn many years ago.
