God bless all the people who take these photos. Psalm 116:15.

.........................................

"…as families remain for centuries in the same condition, often on the same spot, all generations become, as it were, contemporaneous. A man almost always knows his forefathers, and respects them: he thinks he already sees his remote descendants, and he loves them. He willingly imposes duties on himself towards the former and the latter; and he will frequently sacrifice his personal gratifications to those who went before and to those who will come after him."

 - Alexis de Tocqueville (1805 - 1859), Democracy in America, Vol. 2, Ch. 2
