It was amazing to find this ancient Jewish Cemetery preserved between a few houses in Stockholm.
The gate was closed. I had to focus through the gate, over the fence and walk around the block to makes my photos.
The land for the cemetery, named Aronsberg after Aaron Isaac, had been acquired in 1776.
"The first Jew to settle in Stockholm was the gem-carver and seal-engraver, Aaron Isaac, who arrived in 1774.
A year later the Jewish community was founded when the right of residence in the Swedish capital was granted to him, his brother, his business partner, and their families.
By 1778-79 there was already a community of 40 families."
There are about 300 graves in Aronsberg Cemetery, most of them dating 1782-1888.
I wish I could walk between the graves and read each inscription, imagining the life stories they could tell.

Most of those buried in GROESBEEK CANADIAN WAR CEMETERY were Canadians, many of whom died in the Battle of the Rhineland, when the 2nd and 3rd Canadian Infantry Divisions and the 4th Canadian Armoured Division took part in the drive southwards from Nijmegen to clear the territory between the Maas and the Rhine in February and March 1945. Others buried here died earlier or later in the southern part of the Netherlands and in the Rhineland.
The cemetery contains 2,610 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War, and nine war graves of other nationalities.
Within the cemetery stands the GROESBEEK MEMORIAL, which commemorates by name more than 1,000 members of the Commonwealth land forces who died during the campaign in north-west Europe between the time of crossing the Seine at the end of August 1944 and the end of the war in Europe, and whose graves are not known.
Allan Pinkerton
A native of Glasgow, Scotland, Allan Pinkerton was Chicago's the first detective. He was also the founder of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency in 1850, which at one time was the largest private law enforement agency in the world and had more personnel than the United States Army. Pinkerton is credited with foiling an assassination plot against Abraham Lincoln. He died in 1884 at the age of 64.

Whilst sitting at our exhibition at Yarnton I've done a number of drawings close to the pottery. This is in the new cemetery behind the Manor.

Berrima Cemetery. The tombstone on the ground has been like that for a few years at least. Sad.

The cemetery around St Andrews Cathedral is enclosed by a medieval wall that forms the monastic enclosure. Some very interesting monuments can be found within, including this of 'Tommy', fittingly buried in the birthplace of golf.
On a visit to see Sis last March I drove us to Magnolia cemetery in Charleston, SC, where practically every one of my ancestors has been buried for the last 150 years.
It was my first visit to Magnolia since Ruthie's grave marker was set early last year; after some research we chose the style you see here, modeled on Thomas Jefferson's impressive marker in Virginia, which we liked a lot. Difficulty in getting the stone for the marker delayed setting it in position for several months. Alicia, who had chosen not to attend Ruthie's funeral in 2007, sent Sis a number of very offensive emails, castigating her for not having the marker in place in a timely manner; Sis ignored her.
The quote at the bottom of the stone is from Ruthie's favorite hymn "All Things Bright and Beautiful", which we sang (at Ruthie's request) at Tiz's memorial service in 2004 and at Ruthie's memorial and funeral services in 2007.
During Ruthie's funeral service, while the minister was saying lovely things about her (and mirroring the thoughts in our hearts), butterflies hovered over and alighted upon Daddy's grave - behind Ruthie's stone in the photo above - and a heron slowly flew low past the site, turning its head as if to acknowledge Ruthie. Acutely aware of Ruthie's love of birding, those attending issued a collective gasp as it flew by.
My little sister died three years ago today. I miss her terribly. Love to you always, little one.
The 1st of November is a bank holiday in France ; it allows familly to travel to cemeteries to put chrysanthenums on the graves of theirs relatives. In French "all saints day" is called "la tousaint". It's a sad day.
This photo was taken in Bunhill fields, a cemetery in the London Borough of Islington, north of London. The most famous person buried there is probably Daniel Defoe, the author of Robinson Crusoe. This photo was taken above or through a fence.
PS : It's a shame that I didn't see Daniel Defoe's place. I loved his book when I was a teenager. I was even wondering if his book had an influence on my career choice ! May be a bit.
The 1998 African Embassy Bombings Victims memorial at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia, in the United States. It commemorates those Americans who lost their lives when U.S. embassies in Nairobia, Keny, and in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, were bombed on August 7, 1998.
Regulatory changes at the cemetery limited the size, placement, and number of memorials in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Most new memorials are small plaques placed by military associations and foundations. Placement of the memorial includes a financial donation to help to maintain trees and grounds at the cemetery. As of September 2011, there were more than 140 such miscellaneous memorials in the cemetery.
This memorial is in Section 51, placed before a Tuliptree.
