These rows and rows of white headstones are always a sobering site at the cemetery. I have a rather unique one on my blog today; come visit.
Perfect for celebrating Memorial Day. It's wonderful to see how patriotic American are.
My father-in-law is buried at Fort Snelling as his my mother-in-law. It is one of the nicest cemeteries I've seen.
Nice shot, Leif.
Lovely composition here.
