Photographer's Note
This one was taken at night in the center of Boston at the Granary Burying Ground which is the third-oldest cemetery, founded in 1660.
It is the final resting place for many notable Revolutionary War-era patriots, including Paul Revere, the five victims of the Boston Massacre, and three signers of the Declaration of Independence: Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and Robert Treat Paine.

Hi Serge
A lovely macabre image so appropriate for the scene, mood and history. Cemeteries and grave stones are very interesting unusual subject. They contain so much historical information, usually very ornate and often contain interesting stories of their region and time on the decayed memorial. You have made good use of available light here, good selective focusing and wise mono conversion. This is very typical and well portrayed. Well done and tx for sharing..
Best regards
