Cemetery detail series, from the archive, Austin cemetery @ MLK and IH35, fujichrome. This statue scared the heck out of me. when I first found this, years ago, I saw it from a small distance, from behind, and I hallucinated that it was alive. I had to quickly go to it, to see what it was... only to find this. I had actually seen it before, but it was different then, and I gave it only a glance, for some reason. I was in a hurry and focused on something else at that time, I think. (oh, and it's "better" viewed large.)
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.

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.

Unless I can be buried in a forest when I die, I would like to be buried in Greenbank Cemetary.
One of my first memories is being pushed in my pushchair by my Maternal Grandmother, Nan Chapple up the hill at the end of Greenbank View.
I went to school on Essery road to the now demolished Whitefield Boys School.
Before that I went to Greenbank Infants at the same site and inbetween Infants School and Secondary School I went to Coombe Road Juniors which also lead to Greenbank Cemetery.
At Whitefield Boys, games was held once a week at Gordon Road in Whitehall, we had to walk in groups of boys along Greenbank View.
Someone gave Nick Thomson some laxatives once at the Boys School and I remember the Assembly the next day with whichever teacher taking it telling us how he'd nearly not made it home.
Dave Yabsley dropping the friday collection charity bowl which had been in the school for about fifty years, he walked round that day with a tuppaware container.
I remember also one seventies summer being in a tree house in the field opposite and a gang of older boys taking it over.
One of my gang, can't remember who, ran to get my Mum who in turn run over and rescued us and shooed the older boys away.
I still have scar to this day on my left palm from falling onto broked glass walking acroos the field behind Gadshill Road.
I remember my Mum bandaging it up and me asking if it will scar, she told me probably not.
Dad still lives in our house, the house where I was born on Fishponds Road, a stones throw from Greenbank Cemetary and I suppose it feels like home to this day.
As you can see, lot's of memories, Greenbank is a special place.
Mount Moriah Cemetery, Yeadon & Philadelphia, Pa. Mount Moriah was established in 1855 as one of the first rural pastoral cemeteries in the country. Many famous persons including Betsey Ross were buried there. After decades of neglect the cemetery was officially abandoned in 2011. A group of volunteers formed the “Friends of Mount Moriah” to clear the cemetery of the overgrowth of vines, trees, & weeds that made it unvisitable, maintain & update the records, and work to establishing a legal entity for the cemetery. More information is available at friendsofmountmoriahcemetery.org/
