At a certain point in the day, the sun blazes over the hill in the oldest section of the cemetery and creates a landscape of light and shadow.

On camera, the sun becomes a starburst of light.

Everything exists in silhouette...

Darkness and light...

With only the blue of the sky for color.

Neat shots. Love cemetery photos. You can get an idea of the history of an area by the tombstones.

What a perfect idea for good pictures. A cemetary & the sequence makes you think of the sun setting. I know that's not quite what's going on but that's how it looks, makes you think that they all really did go through their sunset.

Beautiful photo essay. I love the way you captured the light and dark of the sky. The cemetery monuments add to setting when the sun appears as a star.
