A beautiful sunset I photographed one year ago. This year November was exceptionally grey here in Southern Finland, according to the news we had altogether 13 hours of sun during the whole month. Hoping for more sunny days again.

It gives me great pleasure to introduce this talented young lady who is interested in photography at such a young age. She originally discovered Monochromia by following one of our Main Contributors Elina. I hope you enjoy this post and future posts by Anne-Cécile Gohier’
Hello, my name is Anne-Cécile Gohier’, and I grew up in France in the pretty town of “Maine et Loire”. I’m a young lady who is sixteen years old and I am absolutely in love with books, it’s sort of my escape. I also like drawing very much, and of course photography is a part of my life now. I think I caught the photography bug from my father who also enjoys taking pictures.
On Christmas day of 2013 I received my first camera. I am still in the process of learning every day and my camera comes with me everywhere in all my travels…

The neon sign atop the Nevada State Bank across the street is flashing the time, then the temperature. 2:59. 101. 2:59. 101. 3:00. 101. A few hours before dawn and still over a hundred degrees. Yeah, but it’s a dry heat. As if that matters. As if no one ever died from triple digits, no two year old strapped into the back seat of an SUV while his mother shops for one last pair of bargain-priced shoes.
It’s the end of a miserable week, a lousy month. Just when you think it can’t get any worse, it does. Yet always, just down the block, there’s Hope leaning against a lamp post, a cigarette dangling from her lips, smoke veiling her face, skirt hiked up with promise.
So, I say good bye to any thought of sleep, lock the door behind…

This is part “Old Burial Hill” a historic site in Huntington New York. It is a final resting place of local “Revolutionary War” and later soldiers and sailors. Although I will only show you the cemetery part of this historic place there is also Fort Golgotha which now houses the “Soldiers and Sailors Museum. Fort Golgotha overlooks what is now known as Huntington Harbor and The Long Island Sound from high atop “Old Burial Hill”. If you want a brief history on this site I have included a wikipedia link – Here
Here are some of the amazingly old cast iron headstones. I have never seen any like these before.
Here is one of them is for a local sailor that was lost at sea on the Steam Ship Pacific in 1856.
Some of the fragile old headstones are leaning forward from their footings and many of them are broken in half.
Some of the headstones are so old and fragile and have growing moss on them.
Here is one soldiers headstone from 1789. He lived until the ripe old age of 68 which was remarkable in those days.
I know walking through a cemetery might seem “creepy” to some but I really got a feeling of American history from reading some of the headstones I came across and thinking about all of the brave souls who fought so gallantly for our freedom.
All images were taken with a Fujifilm X-T1 camera and Fujinon XF 23mm f/1.4 R and XF 56mm f/1.2 R Lenses.

Early morning breakfast on US Route 50 in blissful ignorance of its fame as the Loneliest Road in America.
This is the Border Inn, where accommodation is in Utah while the bar and slots are in Nevada!
