Lichened Onto

This is a site that I literally drove past at least a hundred times. I only really noticed it after probably fifty. It took me likely another year before I finally actually visited. It sits by itself beside the road on the west side between Markham and Stouffville, Ontario.

Many of the headstones are lying down, some cemented into a grouping of which this was one, and although the grounds are tended the stones themselves often support new life.

Every place you go there are the dead if you but take the time to see where their shadows lie.
