The Cemetery

Late in the evening I rode with Steve to the nearby town of Fincastle. It is very old and historical. This cemetery in up on a hill and I think it is very cool.


Another view at the cemetery in Fincastle. This cross is huge! It doesn't seem to be a tombstone, but rather a marker for a family plot. There is no name or date on this cross.
I love how it seem to stand taller than anything around. I love this cross but I am eternally grateful for "THE" cross!
The Cross  Gratitude 3/52 weeks

This tombstone is for a man named Kyle. Born 1809, died 1874. As you can see, this tree has grown up and surrounded the tombstone. The tree is gigantic! I know the picture looks crooked but, the tree is actually leaning. I don't think this 100+ year old tree is in danger of falling yet because it's roots are so huge. I'm not sure however, what may be happening to the grave under this stone.
