A spooky cemetery sits on a harsh and desolate bluff in Bluff, Utah. The skeletal remains of Pioneer settlers lay in wait as winds whispered over the dusty rock. Heat bubbles over the gravel, and plants sufficate among the stones. The town below holds vigil, waiting for the dead to rise and pass judgment over the living. Indeed, the surface of the craggy formations that surround the city like prison gates were formed in the devil’s cauldron. Okay, I might be amplifying the scariness a smidge since this is a town comprised mainly of kindly Mormons. But I had to try. Follow my foot bones…
The town of Bluff sits beside the San Juan River.
Here lie beautiful rocks piled deep on a lonely grave.
A semi-spooky book promo. Bluff, Utah, was our encampment while visiting Monument Valley and the environs.
Happy Halloween!
I must admit I have never seen a cemetery in a location like that before, but it does make sense if there’s a town nearby. Such funny and imaginative narration!
Your wonderful commentary adds eeriness to the lovely photos!
Perfect images for this time of year.
Hello.
Good cheer to all on this beautiful day!!!!!
Good luck 🙂
I love how you described the spooky vibe of Bluff Cemetery. The winds and those craggy formations really make it feel like a scene out of a ghost story! It’s cool to think about all the history there with the pioneers. 🎃👻
Love the spooky vibe! Great post.
I love cemeteries – I find them comforting rather than spooky! These are great shots. Thank you for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2024/10/beautiful-to-behold.html
Indeed… it’s the time for Halloween 🎃 with a special cemetry.
Great scenery!! #TravelTuesday
What an amazing old cemetery. I love the beautiful rocks on the grave in the last photo. Bluff is the perfect name for that town!
Looks like lonely cemetery.
But I bet there plenty of tells from those who gone, before us.
Bluff is a perfect place to be this time of year. Can you imagine the stories buried in that ground? Only the rocks can tell them, and they are quiet, too. It’s a dusty, hot, thirsty area, but oh, the view. Your description posted is g-r-e-a-t!
Very nice shots, I think they are all the better for being in mono. Except that wonderful colorful bunch of rocks!
We saw the cliffs of Bluff, but not the cemetery… What a pity.
While looking at the images, I thought I saw Clint Eastwood in the background. What a wonderful western movie!! Love the post. Thank you for sharing!
Take care and best wishes.
Nothing quite so desolate as a high desert cemetery. It looks like the graves are well tended.
