I've always found cemeteries to be full of fascinating subject matter so it's not unusual to find a few graveyard shots in my portfolios. This one, taken in the Fort Langley Cemetery, has special meaning for me since it is the grave of my Great Grandmother. Our lives touched for four brief years, since I was born in 1946 and she did not die until 1950; but how different were the times in which we lived. I sit here at my computer in 2009 and post images and notes on a world wide web that provides virtually instant access to people all around the world; yet when she was born in 1859 the Colony of British Columbia was but one year old. She was eight in 1867 when Canada was born through Confederation and she lived through the time of many of our great early leaders; Macdonald, Mackenzie, Tupper, Laurier, Borden, Mackenzie King and Meighen to name a few. She would have been ten when the Riel Rebellion took place and fully 26 years of age before the CPR reached the Pacific Coast. I could go on but I think you get the idea.; the history we studied in school was the life my Great Grandmother lived.
