Where Earth Meets the Infinite - a photo on Flickriver

            In the quiet fields of Blue Hill Cemetery in Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge, Minnesota, a lone monument rises beneath a sky alive with motion. The aurora sweeps overhead in shifting curtains of color, while the stone stands unmovedâan enduring witness to the fleeting brilliance above. In this meeting of permanence and ephemerality, the earth remembers and the heavens dance.
