 For this challenge, I did not know where to start, first I had the idea of a grotto, but there is none in my area. So on a rainy morning, I was driving around and as I was driving by the cemetery, I decided to check it out and visit my mom at the same time.

I found this, too bad it was under the snow for the cemetery challenges. I took the picture of it just the way I found it, did not touch anything.

I know many people will say that dying is finally being with the light, I really hope this is true but I have to admit that death is scaring me so much. All I see into it is ethernal darkness.

Post processing was cropping a bit, desaturation, adjusted levels, add grains, adjusted colors to sepia, save for Web.

I did not gave any title... just because I think that it did not need to. You understand or not, that's it.

Thanks for looking.

P.S. Sorry if there's some mistakes or if I did not express what I wanted to say very well, English is not my mother tongue.

Very nice picture and expression for the challenge. The crop is perfect and the use of sepia nicely sets the tone. Well done - I gave it a 10.
