YOu have captured the essence here, love these hills as they are remote or quiet and very appealing for walking.

Such fantastic study in desolation possible here, Tony. The light was pretty amazing for this time of year. What a grand subject!!

Thanks John,Fred,Terry and Janice for comments. The only writing I could make out was DOB, I assume date of birth. Maybe an old pets grave?

Another fascinating image, Tony! Those stones look like ancient grave markers - I wonder
what the writing is on the left stone. Great lighting and sky!

Beautiful colors and light. You were blessed with a good sky. Foreground sones add a sense of mystery to the scene.
