Just a few more of a place I find that is quiet and with solitude to think things over. And I can concentrate on what I am doing. Maybe this is a little out of sync, but it works for me.

Great place for remembrance, honor and solitude. Tim
Thank you for your comments, Bill! I didn't want wait around any longer than to take the one exposure, since I was really in the area to photograph bombing ruins. This was taken in Spring of 1946 with an amateur 6x9-cm German Kodak(?) folding camera (see photo), one of several cameras I carried in a kit bag. Frankly, I was surprised by the negative's sharpness when I enlarged it decades later. It was originally composed in the vertical position because at the time I mentally wanted the extra negative space top and bottom for the eventual enlargement. I doubt that my Rolleiflex would have delivered a negative any better than this.

Yes Tim Thanks for the 2 thumbs up much appreciated. It is never crowded, quiet, and everyone minds there own P's and Q's. Even the ground keepers leave you alone and wait for you to finish and move on. I'm just fascinated by some headstones.
We are in a spot w no WiFi and poor cell service. Am missing internet but relishing quiet, solitude and family. Will have to try catching up next week. Some of my solitude shoots. ( I even figured out how to get the WiFi between camera and phone to work in order to do this!) these were all edited on an iPhone app but taken on my Nikon 750
After the Battle of Bothwell Bridge over 1,000 Scottish Covenanters were imprisoned in an open area adjoining the graveyard of Greyfriar's Kirk in Edinburgh. Two hundred fifty of them were sentenced to exile in the Colonies and were loaded onto the ship, The Crown of London. On 10 December 1679 the ship sank off the Orcadian coast of Deerness, drowning 200 of the prisoners. The remainder were shot as they struggled to shore. The monument to the tragedy is about a mile from the road in this desolate area.
