A beautiful juxtaposition of the sky and nature, taken by Modestino in memory of his wife, Rossella, who recently passed away. Modestino describes this photograph as "evocative", which was taken at the cemetery in Mercogliano, Italy.

Thank you for the kind words. I, too, deplore sloping horizons. BTW, when I took this picture, I had no idea it was asperitas … having never heard the term before.
Perfect. Lawrence said it all.
A most appealing photo, Steven. A quiet symphony of muted greys and whites which give a lovely sense of calm to the overall scene.
I like the careful inclusion of the boat in the bottom far right which gives scale to the overall view. I also like the fact you have carefully kept the horizon dead level. It rankles me a lot when I see an otherwise good photo dreadfully marred by sloping horizons.
