This is beautiful and very interesting; the scale is quite deceiving! The scrub brush/bushes in the foreground give way to undoubtedly large geological forms, but the intermediate gradation to this scale seems to be missing, making these mountains seem very close and small but huge at the same time, if that makes sense. And on x-ray film no less! Bravo on all the shots!

The funeral director?

Stone is probably right. There isn't any way to judge the age of the graves (without hiking up there) there weren't any houses neer. Just this knoll in a sea of grass seed fields.

This is great!
What causes the foreground's perspective to look like this? The wide-angle lens or movements?
