I love cemeteries. Now I know you've already started to psychoanalyze me and have come up with several explanations already. I have yet to figure it out so if you have any great insight let me know. All I know is that cemeteries are peaceful. In a city full of cement and trash there is always one place to go where the grass is green and the trees are growing. Cemeteries are great places for wildlife. A safe haven for foxes, squirrels, rabbits, birds... an ideal habitat for animals and plants. Whenever I visit a new place I search out the cemeteries. A few years back when I was in San Jose, Costa Rica I found the city cemetery and there were statues there that were more emotional and amazing than some I saw in Italy. I know there is controversy of wasting space to bury the dead, but in a city with house, house, house, house, a cemetery is a welcome sight and leaves some green space. My recent trip to Boston included walks to a few burial grounds. The head stones were unique and something that I had not seen before... Very thin slate and instead of lambs and Jesuses there were skulls and crossbones. Cool. I do have to say that one of my favorite cemeteries that I've visited so far in my life is in Southport, North Carolina. Enjoy some pics of cemeteries...
P.S. I've always wanted to make a Cemetery coffee table book. I guess I should take some pics of the cemetery I walk in right by my house.
