Almost Forgotten(*)

Mountain View Cemetery, Oakland, California

These tombstones seem to be sinking down to where their namesakes lie, and caught my eye with their lack of all but the most obvious information. Desaturated in PSE, but no other adjustments besides levels and USM.

Very emotive, and true to the title. You were fortunate to find this spot, works well for this challenge

Excellent composition. The detail of the top left corner shows the possible loneliness of these tombs. I like it very much!

Would love to see some Civil War cemetery shots. I think for Americans the 3 most emotional places we have are Civil War cemeteries/battlefields, Vietnam Veterans' Memorial, and now the 9/11 Ground Zero site.

I guess I can cancel my planned trip to the Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield National Cemetary. GMTA? Steve, I like all three of these pictures.
