South of Wynyard, Saskatchewan

I had this in one of my folders. I was not sure if I wanted to post it or not as I was not sure if I liked it. A few people mentioned that they like it so I thought I would post it.

This is in very rural Saskatchewan with nothing around for miles.

  1. I like this very much! The tree is a comforting presence among those old pioneer tombstones.

  2. I like it too - especially the tree that offers shelter to the tombstones. Probably is a family cemetery.

  3. This is Popowich Cemetery (Ukrainian Orthodox).

    Something interesting is the two headstones under the tree are only inscribed with birth dates (John Popowich-1854 and Anna Popowich-1860), no death dates.

  4. Another awesome find, team! Good work!

    Human beings can make rich and full lives anywhere. What stories could they tell, if they were able?

  6. I stumbled across this webpage and my breath was taken away! The two graves under the tree belong to my great great grandparents. The next day, I took my laptop to my 82 year old mother's house and said, "I have something to show you," and when I opened the page for her to see, her eyes grew wide with shock. "My grandfather planted that tree!" she whispered! "Oh my goodness, that's my great Baba and Gedo." What a wonderful impact your photo has had on us all. Thank you so much.
