I don't know the significance of this alligator. He was lying there beside bricks that are presumably the remains of a grave-marker of some kind. Cedar Hill Cemetery, Vicksburg, Mississippi.

Montparnasse Cemetery, Paris.
From Wikipedia:
Montparnasse Cemetery (French: Cimetière du Montparnasse) is a famous cemetery in the Montparnasse quarter of Paris, part of the city's 14th arrondissement.
Created from three farms in 1824, the cemetery at Montparnasse was originally known as Le Cimetière du Sud. Cemeteries had been banned from Paris since the closure, owing to health concerns, of the Cimetière des Innocents in 1786. Several new cemeteries outside the precincts of the capital replaced all the internal Parisian ones in the early 19th century: Montmartre Cemetery in the north, Père Lachaise Cemetery in the east, and Montparnasse Cemetery in the south. At the heart of the city, and today sitting in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, is Passy Cemetery.
Montparnasse Cemetery is the eternal home of many of France's intellectual and artistic elite as well as publishers and others who promoted the works of authors and artists. There are also monuments to police and firefighters killed in the line of duty in the city of Paris.

Father Death Blues
(Allen Ginsberg)
Hey Father Death, I'm flying home
Hey poor man, you're all alone
Hey old daddy, I know where I'm going
Father Death, Don't cry any more
Mama's there, underneath the floor
Brother Death, please mind the store
Old Aunty Death Don't hide your bones
Old Uncle Death I hear your groans
O Sister Death how sweet your moans
O Children Deaths go breathe your breaths
Sobbing breasts'll ease your Deaths
Pain is gone, tears take the rest
Genius Death your art is done
Lover Death your body's gone
Father Death I'm coming home
Guru Death your words are true
Teacher Death I do thank you
For inspiring me to sing this Blues
Buddha Death, I wake with you
Dharma Death, your mind is new
Sangha Death, we'll work it through
Suffering is what was born
Ignorance made me forlorn
Tearful truths I cannot scorn
Father Breath once more farewell
Birth you gave was no thing ill
My heart is still, as time will tell.
Mitchell Cemetery ~ Anderson AL
This is the second cemetery Ken & I happened upon in Anderson!
Anderson Cemetery ~ Anderson AL
The January challenge for one of the groups I am in was to pick a nearby town we know nothing or little about, and explore, finding several key things to photograph! Come along with me in this challenge as I explore Anderson Alabama! It is near us; we have passed through it from time to time exploring other areas, but I had not ever stopped to see what was around there!
The town is situated along Anderson Creek, which empties into the Elk River near the Lauderdale-Limestone county border. Both the town and creek were named for Samuel Anderson, who built a gristmill along the creek in the early 19th century. The town was first settled around 1825 and was named Andersons Creek. The name was shortened to Anderson, and a post office was established in 1860. Anderson incorporated as a town in 1973. It is part of the Florence - Muscle Shoals Metropolitan Statistical Area known as "The Shoals". As of the 2000 census, the population of the town is 354- kind of dated info but maybe hasn't changed a lot. :)
The War Cemetery at Kanchanaburi is located near the site of one of the most notorious prisoner of war camps supplying slave labour for the infamous 'railway of death'. Nearly 7000 Commonwealth and Dutch prisoners are buried or commemorated here.

Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery
The greatest trees in my hometown are cemetery giants, some spreading an overhanging canopy since before any of us were born. I could never understand the urge to plant stones in barren fields with no trees for company. It's the perfect opportunity to make a park of the past, somewhere living to offset all the dying. This tree is the largest of the bunch, spreading like some saltwater creature in search of the sun. On cloudy days, it feels like walking under the surface of a green sea, light filtered from the far side. My skin turns a verdant shade, and moss grows in shadows that won't fade until November. The silence is heavy enough to hear the sound of branches creaking, grey squirrels speaking to each other to warn of an intruder. Nervous chatter, echoing under in the calmest place I know.

Arlington National Cemetery, in Arlington County, Virginia, directly across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial, is a United States military cemetery beneath whose 624 acres (253 ha) have been laid casualties, and deceased veterans, of the nation's conflicts beginning with the American Civil War, as well as reinterred dead from earlier wars. It was established during the Civil War on the grounds of Arlington House, which had been the estate of the family of Confederate general Robert E. Lee's wife Mary Anna (Custis) Lee (a great-granddaughter of Martha Washington).

John Alexander Bryson
Civil Engineer and Architect
He designed Newcastle's New City Hall which was never built - it was a large and handsome structure along the lines of Leeds Town Hall, with a grand entrance and central domed tower, to sit on Northumberland Road and replace the town hall in the Bigg Market which Newcastle's Corporation felt didn't live up to the standards of those in other cities.
On Bryson's death the project was shelved.
