UNDERGROUND CONNECTION

Located in the mountains of New Mexico, not too far from

Hillsborough, this is a lonesome and isolated cemetery dating back to

the 1800's.

I love this photograph! I love single trees with character!! Thats the feeling part, as for the technical part it all works for me !! The sky is nice!!!

Thanks for commenting. I'm pleased that you liked the image.

Nice picture and great title, David. Food for thought (and trees).

I, too, think this is very nice. There is sadness in the isolation of the place and the grief that was felt here. But there is life, of which those who died are a part. Its a good picture.

 

I hope your trip continues to be fun and rewarding.

I'm sorry I have not had much internet time, and cannot follow very well what you gentlement are doing. I do appreciate very much your comments, and hope to get caught up when I get home.

 

I'm having a great time, although I don't think I've taken too many good images.

you mean that this beautiful, rich, tree is growing out of someone's decomposing body? Oooh, aaaah. The cycle of life, eh? For a few years we feed the bodies off the land, and then for many more years pretty things grow out of our disposed-of-bodies. Do you think that if you watered it with V8, tomatoes would grow on it, too? The tree seems to be popping out of the screen - a cool effect. Cheers, Micheal

Yep, some poor soul is fertilizer for that tree. And so too will be you and me. V8 is only for this life. Not the afterlife. Sorry to have to break that piece of information to you. I know you are going to have a hard time accepting that.

Profound statement here. Now most people are buried in a sealed box inside a stainless steel or concrete vault. They still decompose, of course, but it will take a while longer to become one with the dirt. I want to be buried directly in the soil, or at least in only a plain box. Love your title of this, BTW.

Knowing tree roots like I do, I would not be surprised if they didn't find their little fingers inside the "cookie jar" sooner or later. But what does it matter? I'm thinking cremation and distribution in the air over my beloved home state.
