mountain spirits oversee the graves of the dead - so beautiful to be watched over by a mountain goddess.

The grave markers are nestled among rolling grassy hills and surrounded by shady trees....a lovely setting, close to the heavens and to the gods.

It is an act of respect to honour and seek protection for the dead.

These sacred groves offer peace and beauty to the living visitors who come to visit dead loved ones.

Your photographs are beautiful and touching, @slowwalker...such respect.
