Old lost German Cemetary in the small village Depoldice (former german Depoldowitz), Czech Republic. At the end of the World War 2 the German residents had to leave the village. The cemetary was left alone, some of the graves are still in a relative good shape.
Our Lady of Guadalupe Cemetery, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Info: When the old San Juan de Dios Cemetery filled up in the 1940s this newer panteon was opened. It is also surrounded by a tall wall. Comparing the two burial grounds one can see how interment practices changed over the years. Notice how much more colorful and decorated the graves are in Our Lady of Guadalupe. > historichouston1836.com/cemeteries-of-san-miguel-de-allen...
I wish I could really capture this cemetary. For some reason the colours wash out. I am going to try photoshop and see what I can do to match what it really looks like.
From a set of originally more than 200 negatives. Unfortunately many of them were exposed to moisture during the last 114 years and are irretrievable lost. I have not scanned and edited all the negatives yet, but I will upload the better ones from time to time. The amateur photographer certainly did not have the best camera, some pictures are only snapshots, but they still convey an interesting impression about an exotic journey at the very beginning of the 20th century.
The family who made this trip started from Lohr am Main heading to Vienna, where they probably visited friends before they boarded the Orient Express Wien - Budapest - Belgrad - Sofia - Constantinople. Part of the journey was made on a ship on the river Danube.
In Turkey, they made a trip to Eskisehir.
