Difficult challenge this time... I think it's hard to actively seek such an unpleasant condition. But after a while I started to see through desolation, to the peace and emptiness beneath it. There's a rawness of feeling there as well which reminds us we are alive! I think my picture captures that feeling well... the red in the sky to me symbolises the life-force and hope that will always break through desolation eventually.

Cemetary is a bit cliche for this challenge. Even so this does have a forlorn feeling to it. I think it would be better without the the red in the sky. That adds a bit of cheer to the shot which causes confusion of intent. You could have entered this in a contest for "Hope" just as easily. I'm also not too sure about the monument to the far right. It seems tilted at an odd angle, sort of out of place. If you really wanted to go with cemetary as your subject I think you were on the right track but could have had a better shot.
