Rice Cemetery, Dallas, PA
This is one of my favorite places in Dallas. If I need inspiration, it is the place I go. I always find something new here, no matter how many times I visit (and I visit a lot).
I took a couple different shots of this view, but I really liked this one where I focused on the mountain in the background.
Tall pine trees surround this cemetery, and when I walk though them at the entrance, I feel like I'm walking back in time. The cemetery is right off a fairly busy road, but when you walk in it is incredibly quiet and peaceful. So quiet, I could hear the bees buzzing in the flowers.
Once a home for horses, now a hiding place for chipmunks and other wild critters! I missed the chipmunk with the camera--maybe next time.

I loved the contrast between the old rusty fence, the purple violets, and the touch of fading red paint on the barn. I never noticed the fence before.

I love that second shot of the trees. It makes me feel like I'm lying on my back looking up at the sky. Hey.....that sounds like something fun to do that I haven't done in a LONG time! ;)
your photos are so powerful and touch my heart, I grew up on Huntsville Road in Dallas and moved to Ohio in 1974. Huntsville Dam was one of our favorite places growing up. Your work brought back many treasured memories!!
I love going to Rice Cemetery my father lives about two min. walking distance and I visit it frequently and I also try to keep the place looking nice cleaning alot of debre from the trees and try to help fix the brocken head stones that have either broken from nature or human influence it is really beautiful and deserves to be treated with respect.
