Highgate Cemetery East was the first London Cemetery I visited after my interest in cemeteries started, and it ranks as one of my all time favourites. As you enter you enter your greeted by a huge array of impressive monuments, and there are more than a few famous names as you look around, including the monument to Karl Marx.
As you head deeper in it becomes incredibly rural, you could almost forget your in London. In the woods though is an unbelievably high number of headphones densely packed in the woods. There’s lots to see on the main paths, but the real joy comes when you wander down some of the less used paths and find one of many hidden sights to find. A must visit for any UK cemetery enthusiast.
Bowral Cemetery, with Hoya Fog Filters. I had just started reading Salem's Lot, which I hadn't read in a while, & it made me want to get some shots of cemeteries with these filters for some atmosphere.

He was the English tutor of Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich of Russia. Later in his life he became an Orthodox monk, adopting the name of Nicholas after Saint Nicholas The Passion Bearer. After his return to Britain he became a prominent figure in Orthodoxy in Britain. he took the Moral Sciences Tripos at St John's College, Cambridge, gaining a BA in 1899. He entered upon theological studies in Cambridge and Salisbury in preparation for holy orders but realised that he had no religious vocation. Having talent for languages, he decided to teach English abroad. In 1901 he went to Saint Petersburg, Russia, as tutor to the Shidlovsky family and then the Soukanoff family. He was then appointed to the staff of the Imperial School of Law, and by 1907 he was qualified as vice-president and committee member of the Saint Petersburg Guild of English Teachers. He came to the attention of Tsarina Alexandra and in 1908 was invited as a tutor to improve the accents of the Grand Duchesses Olga and Tatiana; and subsequently Maria and Anastasia. In 1913 he became tutor to Tsarevich Alexei. The children referred to him as Sydney Ivanovich.

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.

This cemetery on La Digue Island, Seychelles, was the private burial place of the Mellon Family who were among the original settlers of the island.
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.
