Now I don't want to make anyone gloomy but I just had to try to capture the gray day and the lonesome feeling that these places give me sometimes. Maybe because my Grandparents lived by a cemetery years ago and I played amongst the tombstones so they don't bother me. Actually they remind me of my Grandparents who are no longer alive. They remind me that I had to get home before dark when we visited or I had to walk through the cemetery in the dark. I didn't like that.
Thanks for strolling down memory lane with me. I hope I didn't creep out anyone. My DB was asking why I would paint such a picture. Difficult to say.

You have accomplished your goal. It is gloomy but you captured a bit of history and that is beautiful.
OOH I love it. I also really love old cemeteries, especially the realllly old ones that have so much history. I like thinking about the people who lived and died, their lives, the people around them, and how the world was so very different in the exact same location.
What a nice post!
I love cemeteries! Kind of strange...... but it is like that.
I´m always fascinated when our bus drives past the cemetery just outside NY. It is so immense! So much history, stories, misteries...... Yes inspiring!
Thank you for taking me there!
You have catched the cemetery feeling very good.
There is a certain wintery calm serenity feel to this...nice job! :)
I also love old cemeteries - I make up stories about the families that are buried together, especially the husbands with two or more wives buried alongside
not at all gloomy for me, i too like old cemetries, we have some quiet and tranquil ones here.
