Standing on the edge of the local cemetery. I am totally enraptured by the view looking out over the beautiful expanse of open field with oak trees and the river meandering through. In Margaret Laurence's The Stone Angel this cemetery was alluded to in her fictional town of Manawaka, and of course it does seems to be the fact that the cemetery appears high up on a hill as it was described in her novel. I was contemplating what this place was like in Margaret Laurence's days. It must have been at least as beautiful if it were not more despite of lots of hardship and personal struggles with elements then.
