IN THE ARMS OF THE ANGELS

Photographs by David Hunnicutt

December 27, 2009

Over the river they beckon to me,
Loved ones who’ve crossed to the farther side,
The gleam of their snowy robes I see,
But their voices are lost in the dashing tide.

~Nancy Priest Wakefield, passage taken from ‘Over The River’

Stopped to take photographs in a small prairie cemetery near Tobias, NE.  The late afternoon showers have finally subsided but the long-shadows creeping across the monuments tell me I don’t have much time.  The moonlight shining through the breaking clouds is remarkable.  Peace permeates this place; although it’s utterly quiet–no sounds at all.
