Behind the Old Wye Church is an old cemetery.  In recent years, a pedestrian foot bridge (Sylvia's Bridge) was constructed across a narrow stream to the edge of an adjoining field.  There, I discovered this marker with a near-by concrete bench for sitting, praying, meditating, or just resting. Thus far, they are the only items on that side of the stream adjoining the Old Wye Cemetery.

The day was dark, gloomy, overcast, warm and humid for Christmas Eve (75 F), breaking long standing temperature records for the area on this date. It later rained quite heavily a few hours after this shot was made.  I caught what might have been the only remnants of sunlight spotted during the evening hours yet barely piercing the overcast of heavy clouds. 

I hoped that the timing of evening sunlight and the discovery of this marker would combine for an interesting silhouette image from this angle with the field and sky as a background.  I increased vibrancy to bring out the colors of the sky and hopefully a more artistic composition.
