Description
When I was playing regularly in a bluegrass band one of my favorite songs to perform was the Bill Monroe song "Walls of Time" (here performed by Ricky Skaggs... [link] ). This cemetery very much evoked memories of the song for me...The wind is blowing 'cross the mountain
And down on the valley way below.
It sweeps the grave of my darling
When I die that's where I want to go.
Lord send the angels for my darling
And take her to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth love
And come to you when I die.
I hear a voice out in the darkness
It moans and whispers through the pines
I know it must be her a-callin'
I hear her through the walls of time
Lord send the angels for my darling
And take her to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth love
And come to you when I die.
Our names are carved upon the tombstone
I promised you before you died
Our love will bloom forever darling
When we rest side by side.
Lord send the angels for my darling
And take her to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth love
And come to you when I die.

I love what you've done with the color. The sky is spectacular and adds so much to the feeling. I can see how it brought this song to mind. So nice!

Thank you so much. The image was actually rendered as a monotone, but then I overlaid a tinted texture on the image to give it the colour. It really added a richness to the sky, I think.
