Beneath the Arch


I found the model for this wonderful archway in a pioneer graveyard located in Shasta, California. I've never seen so many gravestones of people who lived over 100 years old--and not just back when people had worked very hard and their lives were shorter--but in recent times.  I wonder if there is something in the water?

These two are great friends. One is a faery, one human--yet their worlds intermingle.
