Is it strange...


that I enjoy taking pictures tombstones and such at cemeteries? Is it really? There is something peaceful and beautiful about being at a cemetery, I find it comforting and I find the old tombstones and statues quite lovely. Mi esposo does not think its weird and comes with me. These are the pictures I took at a little cemetery not far from my home that I have seen for years but never been to before. The angels were beautiful and you just don't see headstones like this anymore. I take pictures of other things too, living things, but I just appreciate that this person was once so loved that someone wanted them to have beautiful things on their grave. That kind of love is almost tragic yet so caring.












This angel got to me, I don't know why but it did. So wonderfully sad and comforting at the same time.

I follow several blogs that it is "what they do". I love them also... gives me peace for some reason.

Beautiful photos! I spent a day walking around an old cemetary in London when I lived there. Cemetaries are different there - older, more packed, really big and old tombstones, and more overgrown with lots of huge trees and hidden pathways. It was beautiful. I took a ton of photos and then that camera got stolen. :(
