We stumbled upon this old cemetery and I just couldn’t get enough of it…. I’ve shared a few shots on my Facebook page and thought I’d share this one here as well.
Enjoy!!

I just love those long shadows there, Derrick, talk about ratcheting up the drama here! The sepia processing you’ve used really adds to the sense of age, as well. Really well done, fine sir!

What a place! Hollywood needs to sign you up to scout locations! And shoot stills! I love those long shadows… ‘creeping’ over the rocks…

The families located at this cemetery include athe Matas, and Gonsalez and others. We have many good memories at the Indio Ranch.
