Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween! This time of year definitely tops my list of favourites.

I'm not a lover of horror films, I'm no fan of guts and gore, and I tend to

shy away from anything remotely spooky, but yet I can't get enough of

Halloween.  I do, however, eat large quantities of candy and happily get

my arms gooey from carving pumpkins while watching themed movies

- Hocus Pocus anyone? Unfortunately there won't be any dressing up

for me this year, so instead I opted for the graveyard at the end of my

street and black and white photos. Having an appreciation for history,

it was interesting to walk and see the tombstones, some were from

the 1800's. I find in North America there is a tendency to destroy

the old and create new. Aged buildings with decorative style are

replaced with the plain and industrial. Walking through a graveyard

is like walking through history. I've been noticing that cemeteries in

rural areas are smaller, made of generations of families. This particular

one was surrounded by birch trees in the yard of a deserted church that

overlooks a river. It was a quiet and beautiful place - very bewitching.
