Field of Memories
Golden sunset light on the Dalles Mountain Road hillside. I hope heaven has hills like this.

Yesterday, (May 5th) was the memorial service for a friend of mine in New York who lost his battle with lukemia.

This ones for you, Mike.

I agree with the others, John. This is a sweet image that is at the same time very comforting to view. It would be a great tribute to your friend and comfort to his family and friends to get an image like this.

Thanks to all you guys for your nice comments. I will be printing and framing this for his wife as a tribute to him as well as we are including this image on a CD of music that myself and other musicians that worked closely with him are going produce.

Thanks again for the kind comments.

Kind Regards,
John Lehmkuhl
