Went back to an account today to fix something, and remembered my camera. There is a large cemetery across the street from their store, so I went and wandered around, utterly alone, exactly as I like it. No bugs, no tripping, everything went well, and I took one really decent picture that I totally love. It is the last picture of the twelve below.



The obelisk


What a monument. Many of the graves at this cemetery had one large family stone with many smaller individual family stones arranged in a semi-circle behind it. This is one such family stone.

Another family


A very unusual family stone. The picture is awful, but the stone is so earthy and unique that I had to take it.

Cobwebs.

Tree shot.


Many of the trees at this cemetery are quite lovely. Mostly mature trees.

The crown...

...and the clasped hands.


The full markers for made me think that they were peacekeepers of some sort. Law enforcement officials, perhaps.

Another obelisk-type marker.


Nice, but the pic didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, though it still has that greenish mystique.

Beautiful detail.


I love this marker. It says "Gone Home" above the hand.

Stairs.


Old stairs leading up the side of an embankment into the cemetery.

Oh, my favorite picture.


It turned out better than I had ever imagined.

Aw, thanks! That was a really nice shoot. It was early spring so everything was still light green.
