Pima Indian Cemetery, near Gilbert Rd & Thomas Rd
Wondering around the reservation one day, chasing some storm clouds, I happened upon this primitive cemetery, still being used. Nothing fancy, or ornate, just simple graves for those who died over the years.
Beautifully simple; a barren field with a hole dug for the body, then dirt mounded to cover the spot. Striking and sacred, I felt like an intruder visiting a world far removed from my own.
