Nice shot and love the framing with the tree branch

Great framing as Maggie points out. Printing large would allow us to see the grave markers better.

I am intrigued by the structure of the roof. It is a high-pitch design that requires more wood and skill to build, but is far better at shedding rain and snow.

I wonder if this is a revision of the building or whether it’s normal to have the stone in the end walls perhaps showing the previous outline of a much less impressive roof?

Thanks, Maggie and Asher! I`m guessing the higher, `pointy` end wall shows the original shape of the roof. Somewhere along the way someone desided to change the design. Finally, the roof was restored back to its original shape in the 50`s.

Yes a cool framing and angle

I thought the same as Maggie when I saw the image !
Well done. The composition is enhanced by the tree in the foreground.
