Mount Royal Cemetery photography exhibits

Usually by this time of the year I have chosen which photographs I plan to display in the annual Mount Royal Cemetery photography exhibit held in May.

Sadly, after the retirement of the man who was the driving force behind this event, last year's exhibition was the very last.

I so appreciate the hard work and vision of that individual who created the exhibit in the first place as well as the friendly camaraderie of the fellow photographers and the supportive attendance of friends and family.

Below are my winning photographs from several years of entering:

I will always have happy memories of these events set in one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world.  It's very sad to realize that these good times are over.
