Remember Me #2

Incredible light. Fantastic shot.

Thanks, Karen. Appreciate your visit.

Simply beautiful!

AnnaJo, its such a validation that you appreciated this one. Yes, it was exactly a focus on the momentary light, very much akin to the quote. Strangely enough, I was so focused on the moment that I found myself locked inside the cemetery as I was shooting those dwindling light rays. Fortunately, I found a way to drive my car out without resorting to a 911 call. Thanks for commenting.

Wonderfully composed and lit. I love the ribbon of light illuminating her side. The weathered colors and textures add a great deal to the image in seeming validation to your favorite quote. I love it.

Fay, Thanks for noticing this one. It was taken at Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans. It is a beautiful place with incredible sculpture, row-upon-row of above ground crypts, lovely old live oak trees. It is such a nice park, that we sometimes take picnics there. Several of the other shots in my cemetery gallery are from this location as well.

Karen, I'm complimented indeed by your feature of "Remember Me" in Art of the Gulf Coast Showcase.

Thanks a lot, Amy. I do realize how fortunate I am because I find New Orleans to be one of the most interesting places, and I never tire of its beauty and diversity. I appreciate your vote too!

This is just gorgeous, Cheri, especially with the light! I love cemeteries... the older the better. Lucky you, with all the beauty of New Orleans surrounding you! Voted. :)

Rebecca, I sincerely appreciate your feature of "Remember Me" in the Graveyards & Cemeteries group.

Marina, thanks for your nice comment and your vote.

Dramatic, intense image... ( V.)

Natalia, Thanks for visiting and leaving a nice comment on this photograph. I'm complimented that you picked up on the emotion expressed.

Douglas, I am very complimented that this image touched an emotional chord in you. That's exactly the feeling that I got viewing the sculpture . . . the person left behind - longing to maintain a thread of emotion with the deceased.

Emotional, beautiful image ,Cheri .I love it!

How sad-I never want to be the last one standing-the one left behind!!! Great work Cheri, and you have inspired me to reconsider reloading my cemetery pictures which I removed some time ago!! You managed to capture the mood of the moment and solidified the same in your picture!!!

Marie, I'm complimented by your thoughtful and favorable comment. Glad that you were appreciative of this one, which I find so emotional. Thanks for your support.

I love that image Cheri...evokative and filled with emotion...Brilliant composition and that great light is stunning. Invites reflection and brings memories of the ones who have left us...F/V!

Katrina, thanks - that's my favorite thing about this one too. I appreciate the vote!

Pete, thanks for visiting.
