Lovely picture with nice reflections and good composition in general, however what impressed me most was the "about".

If this was the centre of Lilyvale Judi, it is a lovely tranquil setting even if there is the occasional explosions to shatter the peace. To me it is always a calming experience to stand somewhere and ponder the history of the place. Your story is very moving especially with your shot of the gravestones. Thanks for sharing it all. Den

Good series dear Judi,we have so many memorials without name and their histories here near my home. Ya,I remembered our Japanese old folk song,so I translate it into English--poor English though-- If I die,who will cry for me? Cicada in the pine forest will cry. Not cicadas but my friend cry for me,don't cry my friend I worry about you. When I die,burry me at the roadside,passers-by will give a flower to my grave, and water--from sky--.Thanks.

Beautiful poignant narrative and image Judi, and so true. We are but specks of dust on this planet that rise into the light to shine and sparkle briefly before fading away again. A place like Lily vale brings home our own insubstantial nature and reminds us of our place in life as well as our mortality. Its worth remembering places like Lilyvale for this reason alone...

Thanks Larry. I didn't just hear the explosion, I felt it, as it was right under us.
I knew that I wouldn't be able to capture this shot in one as the water was quite dark compared to the bright dramatic sky with the dark clouds. So even though I handheld the camera I took one image with the sky in focus and good colour and another one with the water in focus and good colour and then merged the two on the computer to make the image I was after in the first place.

Yes, but sometimes we become complacent and take the life we have for granted. It is images and stories like this that bring us back down to reality.

This is very beautiful my friend, I'm happy you heard, rather than felt the explosion! An area like this is very sad, and will kinder the thoughts and emotions you put into this find, and yes they were people like you and me, had a life and are now gone. Hopefully somewhere, somehow they live on. in some form of someone's life.
Larry
The detail in your picture is so very clear, was this all camera...or some psp?

Sounds like a beautiful and peaceful place, Judi, except for the explosions! A very evocative about, I guess that's why we all attempt to leave our mark on the world. Dave.
