Bright Walkway, Dark Trees

 Lindale Mennonite Cemetery 

Linville, VA

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.

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