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.
Not a good shot at all but it shows you a lot of the green in Evergreen. Pretty damn clever sentence don't you think?

The cemetaries were really interesting - pretty much everyone seems to be buried in above ground crypts or little mausoleums...painted very vibrant colors
This is not the actual cemetary, is a miniature model of one of Normandies American Cemetaries.

A Catholic cemetary on the island. Note the elaborate nature of the graves.
Visiting my aunt's grave in the Parker cemetary. It's so strange to see a cemetary full of plastic and cloth flowers. The grass is dead but the flowers never die.
Headstones in a cemetary in the Hunter Valley, NSW. It is the resting place of a few members of the same family including a small child.
This was a random point of interest for us somewhere between Tavan Bogd and the Khoton and Khurgan twin lakes. I didn't see much of a settlement (none actually) around here.
Around the corner from Reform Street is an old cemetary which makes for a wonderfully quiet retreat from the bustling streets surrounding it.

On Saturday morning I went looking for photo ops in the snow, and the Johnson Station Cemetary in Arlington was perfect. For starters, many of the gravestones date from the 1800s and early 1900s, so they are already dark and weathered. Add to that a thick blanket of snow, and the dark trees and stones created an amazing, natural black-and-white look.
Random shot of Thornaby Cemetary when I was walking passed with the dog.
Would have prefered to go in and get some shots but dogs aren't allowed so this was taken from over the fence...decidedly difficult when you're attached to a dog who wants to chase the squirrels
