There's an unexplained energy there. Now, as a genealogist, I do it even more. Your photos are wonderful! Hopefully I'll have some later this week when I travel to Lewisburg to an old cemetery from the 1700s.Denise Fabianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01176081001976261037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33364332268534843.post-36226648372442948202013-10-03T15:29:39.480-05:002013-10-03T15:29:39.480-05:00Wow you really captured feelings with your shots f...Wow you really captured feelings with your shots from the different cemeteries.

There's a tranquility there that I appreciate. In Ohio I lived across the street from a 200 acre cemetery and arboretum and spent many hours exploring and taking photographs there. It was such a beautiful place. There's so much history in old graveyards, too. Sometimes, in Maine, I'd come across markers for several members of the same family who had died within days of each other, and pondered how difficult life must have been in the days before modern medicine. Whatever the flaws of today's society, we are in many ways blessed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33364332268534843.post-8374512507990745902013-10-02T19:52:11.713-05:002013-10-02T19:52:11.713-05:00I can understand the mixed feelings while visiting...I can understand the mixed feelings while visiting cemeteries I am the same way....I always wonder what their lives were like and the child grave stones are the saddest....<br />You certainly found some interesting ones to share with us....Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977147960900342156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33364332268534843.post-12389464627882237682013-10-02T19:48:31.052-05:002013-10-02T19:48:31.052-05:00There is such a range of markers and upkeep in cem...There is such a range of markers and upkeep in cemeteries.

Then I just want to cry thinking about the parents' and grandparents' grief when they had to bury a child who wasn't strong enough to survive. The other thing that makes me sad is unkempt older graves where it's obvious the deceased's relatives have also passed so there's no one to care for the gravesite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33364332268534843.post-21889434205286623252013-10-02T15:37:30.035-05:002013-10-02T15:37:30.035-05:00Cemeteries are interesting places for a photograph...Cemeteries are interesting places for a photographic walk.

And so often, they're beautiful places as well.

I visited one at the weekend and I'm excited to share it on my next link-up on Saturday. There's no way I'd walk through grass if there were any chance of coming across a snake!

I would rather not walk through high weeds if I think there might be a snake though. It is sad the condition of these. Love the bronze statue.
