Very nice – I’ve always liked old cemeteries…the lichens and little ferns and moss are beautiful….and the Viking hogback stone is new to me! Not too many of those in America. 😉 There’s something very satisfying about its shape.

Thanks, blue. The viking stone was a new one on me too! (They don’t really feature in the Victorian slate quarry workers’ cemeteries here in North Wales 😉 )

🙂 Somewhere in those Welsh cemeteries, I have ancestors…but I think they’re in the south around Swansea.
