The main burial site before the inception of Oakwood was Rose Hill Cemetery, which covered 11.8 acres in the north side of the city. People became dissatisfied with Rose Hill due to inaccessibility, the lack of natural beauty and the fact that it was not easily improved. Also within a few years, the growing city would encroach into the surrounding area. Between 1841 and 1935, 10,561 burials were made and only a few were moved to other cemeteries when it closed. In the 1950's, city workers buried most of the head stones in the interest of safety. The city planners wanted to make the land into a park but that could not happen until all of the bodies were removed which would involve obtaining permission from all families of those interred. Today, Rose Hill occupies about a city block and is a barren hillside with some tombstones at the top.

This photo was taken with the Canon AE-1 roll of film. I think I finally know how to insert and remove film from the camera.
I love the lens and the beauty the film has. I wish film didn't cost so much.

Moore-Jackson Cemetery, Woodside, Queens
The Moore-Jackson Cemetery is a rare surviving Colonial-era family burial ground. The Moore family burial ground was established by 1733 on the farm of Samuel Moore and Charity Hallett Moore, not far from their house on Bowery Bay Road (present-day 51st Street) at the outskirts of the colonial village of Newtown. The Moores were wealthy landowners who played a prominent role in the development of Queens and intermarried with such leading families as the Rikers, Berriens, Blackwells, Rapelyes, and Jacksons. The cemetery remained in active use until at least 1868 and contained at least fifty-one graves which were marked with fieldstone, brownstone, and marble gravestones. Many of the headstones were lost or broken when the site suffered a period of neglect in the early twentieth century. In 1936 the site was rehabilitated and the surviving stones were re-erected at the east end of the property. Today fifteen gravestones survive including the exceptionally well preserved fieldstone gravestone of Augustine Moore, dated 1769. One of a handful of such Colonial-era family graveyards with surviving headstones remaining in Queens, the Moore-Jackson Cemetery is maintained by members of the local community and is a tangible reminder of the borough's early history.
Located at mid-block, between 31st Street and 32nd Street, the Moore-Jackson Cemetery site extends from 51st to 54th Street. This lot was originally laid out as a rectangle, but the northeast corner was cut off when 54th Street was cut through in the late-nineteenth century. The lot has a frontage of 104 feet on 51st Street and seventy-eight feet on 54th Street. Surrounded by a chain link fence installed in 1956, the site is covered with tall grasses, bushes, and trees. The original burying ground is located on the eastern half of the lot. In 1936 the site was covered with fill to bring it up to street level — newspaper accounts do not indicate that there was any disturbance of the graves. The surviving visible headstones were re-erected on a small forty-by-fifty-foot plot at the 54th Street end of the lot which is set off by the cement posts of a post-and-chain fence. There is a slight rise in the wooded area behind the gravestone area, which appears to consist mostly of cinders dumped on the site.
Within the gravestone area the fifteen surviving gravestones are oriented so that most of them face towards 54th Street. Three of the best preserved stones are set relatively close to the street. Reading from south to north, these are the brownstone gravestone of Samuel Hallett Moore (top broken off, inscription partially lost, which originally read — In Memory of Samuel Hallett Moore, son of David & Jemima H. Moore, who departed this life June 26th 1813, aged 25 years 5 months & 15
years), the brownstone gravestone of Margaret Rapelye (shaped tympanum top, inscription partly lost, originally read — In Memory of Margaret, daughter of Bernard & Deborah Rapelye, who departed this life the 7th of October, 1790; aged one year & 11 months) and a brownstone stone which has lost its inscription. Set slightly behind these stones is preserved fieldstone gravestone of Augustine Moore, inscribed AxM, Dyd th 23, Nov. 1769. The other gravestones are arranged into three rows. Several of the marble stones are broken and all but one broken fieldstone in the back row that still bears the date 1770 have lost their inscriptions.
The paving stones, paths, and birdbaths within the gravestone area and herb garden at the center of the lot are of recent origin and do not appear to be permanently affixed.

Brinsworth House is a residential and nursing retirement home for theatre and entertainment professionals in Staines Road, Twickenham, west London, England. The house is owned and run by the Royal Variety Charity and has 36 bedrooms, 6 living rooms, a library, an in-house bar and stage, a staff of 64 and is set in 5 acres (2.0 hectares) of land.
Brinsworth House was built in 1850; it opened as a retirement home in 1911. It is owned and maintained by the Royal Variety Charity, which was founded in 1908 to care for members of what was at that time the variety and music hall profession. The charity and the house are funded by the Royal Variety Performance, by voluntary donations and, since 2007, by part-proceeds from phone voting from ITV's Britain's Got Talent.

Chinese Cemetery at Harling Point National Historic Site of Canada
Chinese Cemetery National Historic Site
Location: Oak Bay, British Columbia
Date designated: 1995
The Chinese Cemetery at Harling Point is considered to be the oldest of its kind in Canada. It was acquired by the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association (CCBA) in 1903 and served the local community until 1950. The twin towers of the ceremonial altar -- used for burning joss sticks and for offerings of food -- stand overlooking magnificient views toward the Olympic Mountains.
The first Chinese graves in Victoria were in the Old Burying Ground from 1858 to 1873. When Ross Bay Cemetery was opened in 1873 many of the Chinese graves were in Block L of Ross Bay Cemetery, where a Chinese altar had been erected. This land was so close to the ocean that winter storms sometimes washed away graves. In 1903 the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association in Victoria bought land at Harling Point, almost within sight of Ross Bay Cemetery, but farther along the waterfront. Gonzales Hill rises behind the site and rounded, rocky outcroppings nearby provide much better feng shui.
Our world meets ghostly world.
The ghost is reluctant to touch it though..

During a cemetery photo shoot, Austin and I found an area where the road (pavement) turned into a dirt road. So I had her pose on the pavement side in her regular outfit, then she changed into an old timey outfit and I re-shot it with her then on the dirt road side.
The thinking behind that was:
Pavement = modern, new, our world
Dirt = Old timey, ghostly side.
I merged the two together later on and created these.
