Its sad when people die, and I think even more sad when they are young. My friend Jeff died in 2005 and today would have been his 31st birthday. This is the view from where he is buried in Auburn.

Sorry for two posts about death in a row...sometimes its just the way life goes...

That first shot is a spectacular worms eye view...wow. Sure seems like your dealing with a lot these past few days. focussed · 2008-10-23: 16:37

wow the first one is very spectacular!!! mohdruslin · 2008-10-26: 06:25

Beautiful. What I admire is that you are able to share your grief, and turn it into something positive. Life deals us some hard blows sometimes. I too, lost a close friend only a few years ago. I haven't been able to return to his grave since we buried him. I hope I will have the courage you've shown here to do that in the near future. :) Peche · 2008-10-28: 04:39
