Hubbards Church
While in Hubbards, Nova Scotia, Jeff and I camped close to a church that had a cemetery in front and alongside of it.  The day I photographed it happened to be a rather overcast day, so the church and cemetery took on a rather earie tone.
Hubbards Church
Due to the overcast day, the sky contributed to the earie feeling of this image.  One can almost imagine some ghosts or spirits rising from their graves to communicate with the living.  You’d never know it was a summer day by the look of this image.
Neighborhood Church and Cemetery
I like the look of this image with the emphasis on the headstone monuments, and the church playing a supporting role.  The windows of the church mirror the shape of the monuments, too.
All in a Row
One of the things that struck me about the cemetery in which these graves are located was that they are so very different.  On the one hand, they are all lined up perfectly, but each monument is so different from the others.  I can’t help but wonder if they reflect the different personality types of those lying under the stones.
Enjoy!

Waiting
It seems that we all spend a good portion of our lives waiting for various things – waiting to be old enough to vote, drink, and marry to begin with.  Then, old enough to retire and enjoy life.  Or maybe, waiting for someone to return home or something wonderful to happen.  This piece focuses on that last feeling.  The pier in fog can represent so many things – waiting for it to lift to be able to truly enjoy the day, or waiting for a loved one to return or to visit.  The darker clouds overhead is our worry about the situation. The birds in the distance can remind us of a person who is gone.  A handwritten note received so long ago seems to fade in our memory.  And, still, we wait. 
Waiting
Enjoy!
