Wow! I love your story as much as I love your picture. That must have been an incredible experience! I love history and I like spending time at the “old town” here in Stockholm where you can visit places from the 1300 century. Old prisons where king murderers has been held as prisoners for example. I especially like the ruts in the ground u mentioned.
I have to say im a little jealous about your experience and hopefully u will put up some more pictures from this place.
Thanks for sharing this!

Very spooky indeed! I love old cemetaries and often wonder about the lives that were lived and are now forgotton.. who were those people, their families.. how did they live. This is wonderfully captured!

II have been there! Cematary’s are one of my favorite places to visit every day and on my travels…Very well captured.
I use to live in Denver and my best friend lived in Central City before it became a gambling town. Thanks for bring back memories. Luuezz
Ps Did you happen to capture the stones up on the mountain, as i recall some were trees the monuments stones, very different to look at…never seen any like them any where else.

A wonderfully creepy image, I don’t think I’d want to go through those gates tho!

Wow this is wonderful

Please consider one of your amazing artworks for our current Patterns on Gates Fences Railings

If i lived in the states i’d be there in a shot. I love photographing old graveyards. looks like a pale rider is going to ride through the gate at any moment. Your contry might not be that old but you have some excelent cemeteries and buildings.

Fabulous capture!! I lived in Colorado most of my adult life and I know this place..I always wanted to visit there on a night like this!!
