Under a spreading tree

This was taken the same day as the barns below...in fact, just before we got to them. I like how massive this tree feels...I don't know what the grave is for. I always assume a beloved pet.

  7. wow...neat to have the huge tree and the small well cared for grave. Makes a great shot! Maybe it is an old family graveyard. We have lots of those around here, but not usually just one grave, but a very small number.

  8. Your title is so appropriate. The tree has huge branches. It makes a fine near silhouette.

  9. The tree is amazing. I remember studying a poem that began 'Under the spreading chestnut tree ... ' This tree makes a perfect illustration.
