I loved the symbolism of this one when I saw it...the little new tree growing on the old headstone...the flare made it look to me like she (the deceased)was sending her energy to make it grow. I've been nailed on the lens flare in a few comments in another post but IMO I think it is an essential part of the shot.

Rev. George MacDougall Headstone reads:
"The deceased was chairman of the Wesleyan Missions in the North-West.
He lost his way on the prairie about 40 miles east of this place on January 24 1876. His body was found on the 5th of the following month and interred here by his sorrowing family who have erected this tribute to his memory."
