1803_0869 Cemetery

            Graveyards like this are common in Saskatchewan; small plots, usually close to the road. Barren, windswept. Sometimes I stop. Orkney is a sparsely populated former village a few km west of Val Marie, where I live. It now has too few people to be called a village; in the 2011 census its population was 4. That makes it a hamlet, I think.

I intentionally placed the top of the sign right on the horizon line. The square crop was an afterthought. The sparse scene is pure prairie, aided and abetted by winter; photographing the prairie well means coming to terms with vastness, and in particular the spaces between things.
