This is a view inside the historic Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta with one of our modern skyscrapers in the bg. I liked that the style of the monument was echoed in the building.

You are very alert to catch this. A contrast in style and purpose but the basic design is there, WTG

I think I've been to this cemetary. It's a cool place. And I like the skyscraper; a definite contrast. Excellent work, Courtenay!

What an eye. I love the bare tree branches leading the eye from the monument to the building. Terrific composition, awesome details and color, Courtenay.

Nice capture and comp with the big building, Courtenay! Bellefontaine cemetery in St. Louis is just like this with lots of famous people buried there.

Super "eye" to spot this, Courtenay! The pov, design, colors, tones, lighting & mood make this a winning image, my friend! Good luck!

A beautiful capture, Courtenay! Love your perspective! I sure was hoping Mel would have given us the answer about the fence. Now I'm curious. I've been to the one in Key West and they lock it up at night. Guess people try to steal and vandalize.

Beautifully captured and framed with the fencing. The old meets new is a work of genius. Love the detail in the architecture and the rich tones in this shot.
