Found this little cemetery on top of a hill amid the cornfields northeast of Des Moines. There was only a track through the fields to get to it, and it required 4-wheel drive. Lots of people named "Sams" are buried there, including many babies and children. The gravestones are so old that many are barely legible. It's a beautiful little spot, though--I would not mind being buried there! Very peaceful and fun to explore.
The bird is real.

Looking towards Phillip and Nepean Islands and Hunter Point. Norfolk Island. You can see the reefs and rocks that abound the area. Emily Bay is around the headland in the middle distance and further on is Slaughter Bay next to the Kingston Settlement. The older English meaning of Slaughter is marshy!
I was out with my cousins on a photo walk. On our way to Jรคdersbruk, just outside my home town, we found this small cemetery with this old wall. It was a cloudy and bright overcast day so I made it a HDR. I think it turned out pretty well! :-)

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.
