After days of rain, the sun finally decided to show its face today. It was good to see the sunshine again, so I decided to take a walk up to the village church yard to see what shadows I could find.

This is my entry to the Shadow Hunter's SMASh Contest Round 342.

The sun was shining brightly, casting long shadows across the gravestones and surrounding areas. I'm not sure what other people thought of me taking photos in the church yard, but I didn't let it bother me.

Church yards have always been a place of interest for me. They are peaceful and full of history.

As I continued my walk back home, I did think about the lives of those who were buried in the church yard, especially people that I once knew. Each gravestone told a story, and I wondered about the people who once walked the same paths that I was walking now.

Thank you to @melinda010100 and the team for the competition.
