Old 51 Rd, Concord Church and Cemetary 4/16/2023

These pictures were taken on Old 51 Road off of Hwy 51 just South of the Hwy 17 exit. It's a short drive south of Goodman, Mississippi on Hwy 51. The flowers/weeds/etc are at the stop sign at the south end of Old 51 Road by the stop sign. The church is about an eighth of a mile North from the stop sign. Old 51 Road isn't a very long road. It runs parallel with Hwy 51 for the short ways you can travel on it. The church is quite old, and the cemetery across the street is Concord Cemetery. The taller tombstone is dated 1862-1878 (I think). Short lived life for this person. There are newer graves in this cemetery as well. Not sure why there is such a mix of very old and relatively newer burials here. Can't get inside the church or I would have taken pictures. It's just an old square building so I imagine the setup inside is rather simple. I used a Canon EOS Kiss III with Photography Project Low ISO 35mm film. The lens is an EF 75-200mm (f4-f5.6) zoom lens. Shutter speeds are 2 seconds a piece. It was sunny today. Very nice outside. Pictures were taken around 5 PM on 4/16/2023.
The below pictures are from an older set taken at the cemetery on 8/13/2022. These were taken with a 1979 Canon A-1 with a Canon 50mm f1.4 50mm SSC lens using Fuji Xperia 400 speed film.
