The Muslim Cemetary in Mamilla just east of Independence park in Jerusalem, recently suspicious activity by the Waqf has made the cemetary clean(a good thing) but then dozens of new grave stones and headings and inscriptions have been added. This is most likely due to the fact that sic months ago the ADL wanted to build a museum of Tolerance near the site. Unlike in countries like Russia, Germany, Libya, Egypt, Tajikistan and Iran where Jewish graveyards are paved over with highways or airports built over them or preisdential palaces or the graves used to pave roads(as Jordan did in the 1950s) Israel has the sad notoriety of protecting mosques and muslim graveyards that are now in Jewish parts of town, such as the mosques in Westn Jersuaelm or Safed.
Wanted to go somewhere in Greenville where I could make some aerial images without having to answer questions about the pole. This was the place I didn't see a soul.
This is an abandoned cemetary deep in the woods down an abandoned logging road. I happened on this while looking for old kaoline mines for fossils. I just happened to stop to take a leak and barely caught an upraised hand in the distance an
d just a hint of a wrought iron fence. This has the grave of Hayden Hughes consort. The writing on the consorts grave stoicly proclaimes that "here lie the remains" and the word consort is plainly visible. What is unusual is that the more ornate grave has a mariners them and religious symbols such as a cross are noticeably absent. The wrought iren posts have somewhat of a cross but given the lack of markings on the tombstones I'm thinking that this was not purposely ordered but rather what was readily available at the time. This is a very peculiar place and it has been calling me for some time to come capture the imagery of this place.
In Japan, near Kyoto, up Mount Koya, sits Okunoin Cemetary.
It's the home of a few hundred thousand stone statues... including some of the founding monks of various Buddhist sects, and a Japanese military general or two (e.g., Oda Nobunaga - denoted by the giant "rising sun" flag).
An hour and a half outside of Kyoto, it's well worth the trip to spend a day or two out here at one of the Buddhist monastaries.
This is an old cemetary in Sacramento that has some very old stones and beautifull flower gardens. I thought the sign was pretty funny.

From an old roll of film I shot & scanned in 1999. No processing aside from a slight crop.
Nikon N50, probably Fuji Velvia 100.
On our way up the hill we walked by a large cemetary. The bright white washed stones stood in stark contrast to the rolling green hills surrounding Fes.
Dravo Cemetary is part of a ghost town-Stringtown- now cared for by historical org because the church burned down in 1924.
The state of the cemetery seems to grow worse with brocken headstones lined up against a brocken fence on one side. Some of these folks likely don't have anyone to repair their headstones as the cemetery began in 1824; likely they don't have immediate relatives left themselves...
