This comes from as yet unpublished series that I took in Fremont Indian State Park near Sevier, Utah last month. The ground was holy to a people whose name for themselves we do not know for certain. (The Hopi and the Paiute are likely descendants.) You can read reviews and see more pictures at [Hidden Secrets Loop] and at [Centennial Trail]. Still posting lots of Orange at [Paths of Light]. - Joel
This graveyard is just off the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Almost every cove in the Park has a primitive graveyard, with many headstones simply being a flat rock with no names or dates. Life was hard, and many of the graves are those of newborns. Despite some of the graveyards being miles from the nearest road, fresh flowers are laid on the graves frequently. Roots here go deep. - Fletch
State Street, downtown Columbus, Ohio
Days after the demolition of several historic homes on State Street in downtown Columbus, the shadow of one still appears as a memory writ into the wall of the adjoining building. These homes, which presented a welcoming face to pedestrians, a broken and varied streetfront with frequent doors and more-frequent windows, were leveled only to be replaced by a surface parking lot, and an eventual (should plans materialize) parking garage. This continues the death of downtown as a place for people and its replacement as a place for cars, where wise humans shun the cold and faceless streets.

I'm looking forward to all your tombstones, graveyards, skeletons, road kill, and fossil postings. - Joel
Thanks for the photo, Fletch. What is your weblog? - Joel
My weblog is http://www.smokyblog.com . This is my first post on Ecotone, so feel free to make corrections if needed. I have one other graveyard photo but wasn't sure if one photo per user was the rule. - Fletch
We've been allowing light breaking of the rules, particularly if the exchange of photos feels conversational. That may change if this becomes excruciatingly popular, but for now, it's no big deal, Fletch. - Joel
