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. |

The obelisk's next door neighbor
Another 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.
Decoration. |
 |
Tree shot.
Many of the trees at this cemetery are quite lovely. Mostly mature trees. |
 |
Beautiful marker.
|
 |
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. |
