Requiescant in Pace

View LARGE

 

Mount St. Mary's is an old Catholic cemetery in Kansas City, MO. It's not very large, and is surrounded on all sides by the streets of a once-fashionable, now run-down neighborhood; over the years, it became rather densely packed with permanent residents. Featured in this image is the little patch of ground known as "Priests' Island." It sits in the center of a roundabout, and there are (if I counted correctly) 34 priests buried there. Not an inch to spare.

 

Thanks to SkeletalMess for a texture layer.
