A Peaceful Rest

Another flowering tree caught my eye as I looked for spring scenes across the region. The old church and the storm clouds rounded out the composition to yield a peaceful spring image at a local cemetery. Fall is still my favorite time of the year, but spring is right up there as well. This is another example of an image where I climbed on my truck roof to shoot, and that allowed a little better framing with the tree. The roof has a luggage rack which keeps the tripod legs from sliding. I get strange looks doing this, but I like the extra height it affords. I often joke about mounting a telescoping pole to my vehicle and controlling aerial views from a laptop inside. Maybe if I ever hit the lottery, I can try that.

  1. Very nice—–great framing. I’ll bet that the sight of you atop your truck, hovered over your tripod and peering through the view finder, is a familiar sight to lots of County residents!!

  2. the wonderful views from that cemetery(looking down over the valley) are awe-inspiring!!!! THANK-YOU for this lovely picture……..
