I enjoy walking through old cemeteries, do YOU?
I love graveyards. Not only do they contain real history, they remind us of our ultimate fate. As a christian I was terrified of cemeteries, but I now feel at ease, even comfortable amongst the dead.
I'm fairly curious about our unavoidable fates. Death will come for us all, so I need to buy an awesome headstone while I'm still here.
I used to ice skate in one next to my ex-in-laws.
Wow! Finally, somebody I can admit that to. I always go visit cemetaries in new places. My all time favorite, so far, is St. Bonaventure Cemetary in Savannah, Georgia, It is stunning in design and famous graves. I went there mainly to see the grave of Little Martha, made famous by the Allman Brothers
Yes. I find the history fascinating. Every cemetery is a reflection of the community. I've been the Director at 7 of our national cemeteries.
LOVE it. We have a lot of old cemetaries in New England and I visit several every summer and fall.
Yes very much and as a photographer I am always on the lookout for beautiful statuary and ironwork.
I loved the 'pere la chaise' (sp?) cemetary in Paris, it is so old and there are such beutiful enamelled likenesses on the stones everythign is falling apart and it seems such a wild unrly place - The people from the Paris Commune are buried there - I also like Higate cemetary adn there is one in Newcastle upon Tyne somewhere in Jesmond that has a childrens plot which is so well tended.
Yes, because of the old growth trees, lack of people, etc., so they are great places for photographing migrating birds. The old Lexington, KY, cemetery also has ponds and flowering ornamental trees, so is also beautiful in spring, and bird groups routinely go there.
Around the turn of the 20th cetury, Cemeteries were being designed as memorial parks, the idea being that families could go and spend extended time with the departed. I've always found cemeteries to be beautiful, interesting and full of history if you're willing to dig (yeah, I see what I did there). For me there's not many things more relaxing than a walk around a cemetery.
Not sure the age of them, but yeah, I don't mind walking through cemetaries, even at night.
