Flora Cemetary. · 08:06 AM

High up in the Wallowa Mts. in the extreme northeast corner of Oregon. A beautiful sign in a beautiful spot.

An interesting-looking place. Nice photo - makes me intrigued about the cemetery and the history of the folks buried there.

Very nice. Looks like it could use a trim.

...is this where all the flowers go when they die?

It's a beautiful part of the state. Took me 23 years of living here before I got over there. Now I can't wait to get back.

The section on the right had been mowed recently. Guess they hadn't got to all of it. But Flora is a ghost. At its height it had a population of 200 residents. That was in 1910.

Beautiful place; I'll have to visit it someday.

Also had a great patina not seen in this back lit photo.

Not a spaghetti western but they filmed parts of Paint Your Wagon not too far from here.
