Cemetery Saturday

St. John's Episcopal Church, at the end of the Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh. We were there on a cold Holy Saturday morning. The mist and light fog enhanced the atmosphere of other times. Many of the graves were several centuries old, the stones worn, weathered and covered with moss.

In early April things were beginning to green, but the many of the trees had yet to don their leafy coats - an intriguing juxtaposition of the joining of life and death.
