Here is a photo that I took on Saturday, August 12 at Calvary Cemetery in Newburgh, NY. I like St. Michael images and found this statue striking and beautiful. I find myself drawn to holy places, and I certainly count cemeteries as holy. There is a serenity there and on any given free day when I’m in the mood to photograph, I often find myself tramping through local cemeteries, especially old ones. There is a poignancy and power there. Now, some cemeteries can be tricky to photograph. All the greenery often makes it difficult to get a proper focus on a statue or stone, but the key is just being careful and doing close ups. I don’t photograph as much as perhaps I ought, but this St. Michael pleases me.
