Long Abandoned Cemetery

I do several small photo trips in my part of the world every year and will often stop at cemeteries. This was taken at a taken at one that has not been used for over 100 years. It served the mining town of Phoenix BC - which not longer exists. I cannot help but think about the very difficult lives that these people must have lived - majority came from Norway and Ireland to work in a mine that flourished in the late 1800s but completely disappeared by 1920. A local historical society maintains the grounds.

I really like this image. The composition and processing are spot on. Well done.
I don't know if it's because I'm approaching 70, but I'm becoming increasingly fascinated by old cemeteries. I'll have to work on this theme a little...
 
I'm with Toby on this one in that I would have preferred the whole frame to have been in shot.
