Today's cemetery photographs.

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.

Oh, thank you! Yeah, the greenish color is so pretty! It's still spring going on summer here in a way.

The cemetery had a good amount of trees; not enough to take away from the cemetery itself, but enough to make it look nice.

I like the last one best. I can't believe it turned out, because the other one I took like that was completely out of focus. Unfortunately my camera's screen has difficulty with sunlight; it's hard to tell what's going on.

Nice pics.

Clasped hands are the sign of the ancinet God Fides, and used in the insignia of some colleges and army regiments, coats of arms etc.
