This was taken a while back but could be a reality again today. Weather today includes the chance of sleet, rain, snow, wind and possible thunder! You gotta love mid-west weather. After this round of crappy weather, a warming trend. Finally some spring weather?
SUNKEN CEMETERY
According to local historians, Mount Vulcan had four historic eruptions. The first one was in 1827 but records of this eruption were nil. The second one was in 1862 when thick ashes from the crater flowed and overtook people who were fleeing towards the sea, resulting in 326 fatalities. The third one started in 1871. Previous experience had taught some of the Camiguin people of the dangerous whims of Mount Vulcan. Thus, when earthquakes were felt, they fled as far away as possible from the volcano, but some stayed behind. There were spasmodic eruptions and the people who fled decided to stay away until the time when the volcano finally subsided in 1875. But when they returned, they have lost their land and their friends.
The whole capital of Camiguin, with its cemetery, sunk under the sea. In the following years, the sunken land and the gravestones can still be seen when the tide is low. But in 1948 until 1953, Mount Vulcan erupted again, sinking the whole area deeper, to around twenty feet. In 1982, a large cross was built on the solidified lava to mark the site that became the graves of the ancestors of the Camiguin people. It has become a sunken cemetery. Now, it is one of the world’s most unique diving sites.

My wife and I like cemeteries. The starkness, the stories, the nature, the stone, the solitude. East Sacaton Cemetery, AZ, with Polaroid Go instant camera.

Brompton Cemetery Chapel. Grade 2* listed and constructed 1841-2 to the design of Benjamin Baud. It was the only one of three such chapels to be built, the others being discarded from the plans due to costs. The dome is decorated with marigolds, and there are acanthus leaves around the edge. The Mediterranean acanthus grew in the cemeteries of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Its leaves have been used to symbolise the ‘garden of heaven’. By contrast, marigolds represented sadness for the Victorians. The chapel is still used for funerals, but is also a concert venue and exhibition space. The Brompton Cemetery is unique in that it is one of the London Royal Parks. The cemetery was opened in 1838 before completion, is grade 1 listed and on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

April 5 2021 a sunny and very cold morning in Hull General Cemetery Kingston Upon Hull. The cemetery is looking much better and safer to be in after all the work by the volunteers. Thank you to you all and this place has so much history uncovered by the volunteers daily. In monochrome with iPhone SE!

Fall foliage in the Lakeside Cemetery in Wakefield. Uneven color this year -- a lot of leaves at peak, past peak, and not yet peaking, all at the same time.
