Description
Taken at Myrtle Hill cemetary back in Novemeber of 2007. The graves in this section are of Civil War soldiers.
There are two really interesting points on this picture. One is how if you look to the left or right, the stones line up. The second is how one of the stones has been almost taken over by a oak tree. Given the size of the tree, it's possible it was planted there by a loved one in honor of a fallen soldier. As you can see, the tree has also pushed other stones about.
On a creepier note, I can only imagine where that tree's roots have gone...

Moving and beautiful historical capture. Amazing how that huge tree has embedded the stone. Makes one wonder why and the history of the person buried there. Captivating and wonderful image.

Fascinating! I know where the cemetary is, but I didn't realize about the Civil War graves... but, that place IS pretty big. Great shot!

This is definitely a composition with beauty from ashes, order from the past and strong other symbolisms, just to name a few.

Not so creepy. After the stone is long swallowed, the living stone continues with its secret. Excellent find and presentation.
