This cemetery on a hill "began in 1788 when pioneer Abraham Brenneman was bereaved of his wife Marie and newborn daughter. For their burial he set aside a small plot of his large farm. It became the oldest Mennonite cemetery of the area." It is next to Lindale Mennonite Church.

That is a most somber sky over this old cemetery. The mood of your photo is perfect for the setting.

Un très beau ciel pour une ambiance un peu mélancolique

ReplyDeleteI live in the epicentre of Mennonite settlement in Canada and on any given day we pass several of their cemeteries.
