My entry for creative photo

Fort Boise Cemetery

EDIT: 7/09/08 8pm....
Thank you all for your nice comments, i wanted to add a bit of commentary to this post earlier but just did not really have the time at that moment.

This was taken a couple of years ago at the Old Fort Boise Cemetery, I have been in love with the place since the first time i went there not long after moving to Idaho(1992). I love this shot of the cemetery. I had intended to enter this in the local fair but never got the opportunity to do so.

I have conflicted feelings about this cemetery, it has been very neglected, and is in disrepair. But yet is so peaceful at times.

As soon as I saw this pic, I felt the wind sweeping through this, enhancing a rather haunted atmosphere!

Great capture and I love the black and white tones!

I love the peaceful atmosphere you've captured in the cemetery. Very nice.

I understand how you would have conflicting feelings about it being overgrown.

Good luck in Roger's contest!
