Thanks for your comments, Marcus. I've been past here many times, but hadn't gone in before. I like cemetaries, the peacefulness and stillness of them. It is a nice place for you to go visit with your grandparents...it is one of the most beautiful, and beautifully maintained cemetaries I've ever been to.

wow amazing scene Christine, the moody look is perfect here, love the mixture of headstones as oppose to them all being the same, both my grand parents on my fathers side are buried here so i have visited often, and taken many photos, I think you captured the feel of the place perfectly..

you got it Christine... too much death, too much misery... too much war on the planet. Hope they'll understand someday

Thanks, David. I am a loss of what to do with fog (it was a very foggy day in San Francisco, what else is new!). I prefer more contrast (indeed, the printed version of this is more contrasty), but I wanted to keep the mood...so... perhaps as I learn more about Photoshop I'll learn to balance things better.

Thank you, Jan. I have a nephew in the Navy, who was in Afghanistan last year. A good friend of mine is a Viet Nam vet. Words can not convey my feelings about wars, I think nothing is so complicated as war. My heart goes out to the people who fight them. That suffer because of them. That die and or are maimed because of them. Whose spirits are damaged. Unfortunately, I don't think that there will ever be a war to end all wars. The best I can do is search for peace in my own heart.
All my best to you, Jan. Thank you.
Christine

On the thumbnail this pic seems flat. Certainly with curves and levels adjustment the contrast jumps out. However in comparison, your original seems to fit the bleak theme a little better....

Christine--A moving photo and it truly hits home, doesn't it? This has special meaning to me, a Vietnam Vet. We obviously do not learn from our mistakes. The grey and dreary San Francisco mist and fog seem so appropriate. Well seen.
--Thanks, Jan
