Zamkova Hora hill (Ukrainian: Замкова Гора, literally Castle Hill) in Kiev, Ukraine is a historical landmark in the center of the city. It is part of the city's geographic relief complex known as Kiev Mountains (or Kiev Hills). The place is called "Zamkova" because Vytautas the Great had his castle here. Other names: Khorevytsya, Kyselivka, Frolovska, Lysa Hora. Some important events of Ukrainian history took place on the hill.
According to some researchers, Zamkova Hora also has a mystical prehistory, supposedly being one of the lysi hory ("bald mountains") - the sites of the witch gatherings. Geographically, it is really "bald" (lacking trees) from several sides.
In the 18th century a cemetery was established on the hill (now abandoned).
It is now a small landscape park in Podil Raion still containing interesting grave monuments. Zamkova Hora is also one of two hills that border the Andriyivskyy Descent.
Reclaiming the mystical essence of the hill, local satanist groups have conducted their ceremonies there since late 1980s. Small ritual structures were covertly built on site.
Caroline Church and Cemetery is a historic Episcopal church and cemetery and also a national historic district at the junction of Dyke and Bates Roads in Setauket, Suffolk County, New York. The church was built in 1729 and is a three-by-four-bay, heavy timber-framed, 42 by 30 foot building sheathed in wood shingles and covered by a gable roof. It features a 42-foot tower surmounted by a 25-foot spire. The complex also includes the parish house, built in 1905, and a barn built in 1893. The cemetery was established in 1734.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
Often this hill has lots of markings in the snow from sled runs but today, either the kids hadn't gotten to it yet, or else the light is not right for seeing them ..... either way, I am always impressed by this landscape as I pass on wintry, snowy, fogy days. Berks County, Pennsylvania
This cemetery, begun in July 1917, contains 972 Commonwealth burials of the First World War, and 19 German war graves.

This cemetery has always interested me. At one time Bethany Reformed Church stood on this property and my grandparents along with my dad and his brothers attended. When my dad was still quite young, the church closed and the parishioners moved to the "town church" about 5 miles away. I still attend that church today. Because of this family history, I have walked through this cemetery several times thinking I might find headstones of relatives but haven't found any familiar names.
NECR 608 heads south through Stafford Springs, CT with a pair of blue and golds, and a high & wide transformer load.
Usually a quiet place. I say 'usually' because we had a bit of vandalism. The cemetery has also reached the limit of its capacity and soon will become even quieter. Cemeteries can reach the end of their life too. This cross is bit older. Unlike today's religiously nondescript tombstones or those surrounded by the paraphernalia of popular spirituality (angel figurines, toys, plaster cast dogs and teddy bears etc.) this one still shows the Christogram (IHS). IHS means the latinised version of the first three Greek letters of the name of Jesus (iota, eta, sigma). The letters can also be read as the abbreviation of Jesus Hominum Salvator (Jesus Humankind's Saviour) or In Hoc Signo (vinces; you will be victorious under this banner). In general, we could say that this gravestone represents Britain when its adherence to Christianity was taken for granted. 7Artisans manual lens at F1.2.

The cemetery of Casabermeja, Cementerio de San Sebastián, is one of the most unique cemeteries in Spain and a protected cultural monument. It is known for its architecture that resembles a whitewashed village.
️ Cementerio de San Sebastián – Casabermeja
- Location: On the outskirts of Casabermeja, province of Málaga, Andalusia.
- Status: Recognized as Bien de Interés Cultural by the Junta de Andalucía since 2006.
- Architecture: The tombs are built as small houses with gabled roofs, whitewashed walls and streets in between. From a distance, it appears as if the deceased are buried upright, giving rise to local legends.
- Origin: Built in the 18th century, with extensions in the 19th and 20th centuries.
- Symbolism: The design reflects Andalusian village architecture, respecting tradition and community.
🌙 Traditions and events
- All Saints' Day (1 November): The inhabitants chalk the niches white and decorate the graves with flowers. In the evening, torches are lit and poems are recited in a ceremony called Versos para enterrar el verano.
- Guided night tours: During special occasions, candlelight tours are organized, which gives the cemetery a mystical atmosphere.
Old cemetery outside of Eugene. Many of the people resting there started on the East Coast in the early 1800's.
Also, skeletons.
Abney Park Cemetery in Stoke Newington, shot with a manual focus Walimex 8mm f/3.5 fisheye lens.
This lens is intended for APS-C cameras, on which it produces a rectangular image with fisheye distortion; the effect can be relatively subtle if you keep the lens horizontal.
On a full-frame camera like the R6, it's necessary to remove the lens hood otherwise it's visible in the image. Unfortunately, even without the hood the lens won't produce a fully circular image on a full-frame camera as parts of the circle fall outside the top and bottom of the sensor. There's also a strong blue tinge round the edges of the circle, which of course was never intended to be in the frame.
