A really nice place for a cemetery. Picture combines the beauty of the landscape with the silence of the place. Reminds me of remote locations visited on various travels...

Nice landscape shot.

Interesting shot. Are the gravestones a particular local style? The mountain in the background looks like the one Cezanne spent a lot of time painting.

@grouser: Yes, these gravestones are typical of the basque culture, southwest of France and northwest of Spain. Thanks for your comment.
La verdad es que es casi un placer caminar por este cementerio. Es la primera vez que veo uno igual. Interesante, muy interesante. Un saludo, gracias por tu visita.

Your image is lovely with excellent crisp detail and excellent DOF. The designs on the tombstones are fabulous.

A very interesting image. In Scotland the very oldest gravestones are discoid like these, however they are much older - from the 1600's!

Una foto que creo recordar, me gustó entonces y me gusta ahora, tienes verdes muy bonitos y documentas un cementerio que al menos para mi era desconocido. Un abrazo.
Preciosa foto, a mi me pilla cerca pero todavía no he estado por alli. Los verdes tipicos del Norte. Un saludo.

Interesting the shapes of these gravestones. I've seen once in a photo by Perry Hermans a similar gravestone in Ireland. Scotfot speaks of gravestones like these in Scotland from 1600's. Can it be a common heritage (Celtic?)?

Online again :) Hi Paco, thanks for the comments. Very good image here, nicely composed. I notice too how sharp the image is, right back into the mountains.

I love how the hill seems to roll along with the horizon!

Great shot... I love the mountain ranges in the back...

Thats a beautiful surrounding for a last resting place. You've captured the serene atmosphere in this photo, very beautiful. I like the shape of the headstones. Looks like a really old graveyard. Thanks for your compliments!

This is a delightful image. The are so many layers of interest from the foreground to the mountains, and the soft look of the light is beautiful.

je reconnais bien là les fameuses pierres tombales basques avec même une croix basque sur celle de gauche
24 Jul 2008 4:40pm
Wow, those are great. I think I want to be buried with a basque headstone. (After I die, of course.)
