This photograph was taken on the day before the Thanksgiving parade in America's hometown of Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Cole's Hill was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1960. Sitting on top of the hill is this large monument (sarcophagus) containing the remains of Pilgrims who succumbed during the first winter in 1620-21.

To hide their losses, it is said the bodies were buried in unmarked graves on the hill. In 1921, some of the remains of persons originally buried on that hill were collected into the sarcophagus. Their names are engraved on the tomb.

A life-long resident of Plymouth, Massachusetts, I have been pursuing my passion for landscape photography ever since retiring. Much of my work is captured primarily in and around my historic hometown and nearby areas on the South Shore of Massachusetts. My photography represents how I view the world. I am drawn to beauty in simplicity. It is where I find the most peace. It is my hope that my photos will evoke same emotions within the viewers. Thank you for taking the time to look and comment. I hope you like my pictures as much as I enjoy photography. PLEASE NOTE: The FineArtAmerica watermark does NOT appear on sold images.
