I like taking macro close ups of flowers, and also I like landscape photography. I don't believe in using photo editing software, although I am not against others using it, if they wish to, I have on rare occasions used it, but mostly what you see, is what I have taken as a photographer, and not spicing it up with software, or cropping the photo up, as I believe I should take the photo good enough in the first place, that I don't need photo editing software. This photo has had no editing software after it was taken, it's as I took it from the camera.

Description: Comb grave in Cash Cemetery, Coffee Co., Tenn.
Date: February 18, 2014
Creator: Dr. Richard Finch
Collection name: Richard C. Finch Folk Graves Digital Photograph Collection
Historical note: Comb graves are a type of covered grave that are often called "tent graves." The length of the grave was covered by rocks or other materials that look like the gabled roof or comb of a building. They were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is conjectured that these graves were covered to protect them from either weather or animals, or perhaps both. While comb graves can be found in other southern states, the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee has the highest concentration of these types of graves.

Bellefontaine Cemetery, established in 1849 as the Rural Cemetery Association of St. Louis, is nationally significant for its landscape architecture (Criterion C) as a unique hybrid of the rural and landscape-lawn cemetery movements. Bellefontaine did not adapt either influence (rural or landscape-lawn) exclusively but instead, merged both into its overall landscape design. Decisions to pursue cutting edge landscape ideas and to limit the cemetery's recreational use, sets Bellefontaine apart from its east coast (rural cemetery) predecessors and mid-western (landscapelawn) examples. The cemetery was initially designed as a rural cemetery by its first superintendent, Almerin Hotchkiss, who came to St. Louis after working with David Bates Douglass and Zebediah Cook, Jr. at Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetery (established 1838; NHL, 2006). In addition to his work at Green-Wood, Hotchkiss (while working at Bellefontaine) designed what is believed to be the nation's earliest planned suburban neighborhood, Lake Forest, Illinois. Once the landscape-lawn movement began to take shape (introduced by Adolph Strauch in 1855 at Cincinnati's Spring Grove Cemetery in Ohio, established 1844; NHL, 1979), Bellefontaine served as an early proponent of the movement. Complementing and contributing to the cemetery's landscape architecture is Bellefontaine's exceptional collection of memorials and mausolea designed by renowned sculptors, architects and craftsmen. Elements of both the rural and landscape-lawn cemetery movements are clearly defined through the site's undulating topography, planned horticultural features, serpentine road network, man-made lakes and spatial relationships between stones, monuments and tombs. The associated period of significance, 1849 - 1940, extends from the cemetery's year of incorporation, 1849 through 1940, by which time Bellefontaine had reached its final stage of physical development.

April 12, 2015 - For over 300 years this was the only burial ground permitted for Jews in Prague. The last burial occurred in 1787. It is thought that over 100,000 people were laid to rest here, due to lack of space bodies were buried one on top of the other and records indicate there are up to twelve layers.

Greenwood Cemetery open in 1869 after being converted from a farm, and covers 43 acres. It is on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places. Benjamin Rush (a signer of the Declaration of Independence) lived on the farm in the late 1700s. Over the years, Greenwood's fortunes declined. The cemetery became a target for vandalism and many headstones were toppled and broken. Maintenance became sporadic and vegetation began to consume the cemetery. Only the front third of the cemetery is cleared enough to walk through unimpeded. The rear of the cemetery has reverted to forest with trees springing up through the middle of graves. It is not an unusual sight to see a headstone pinioned between two trees. The Knights of Pythias, upset over conditions at Greenwood, tried unsuccessfully to have their name removed from the cemetery. The court has appointed Gloria Boyd & Kevin Lynch custodians of the cemetery on a temporary basis. They are in charge of getting the grounds in repair and arranging burials. The decision on a permanent owner will be at a later date.
Random old cemetery in the middle of Hong Kong. Pretty rare as most people are cremated and kept in mausoleums.
I went to the Marble Cemetery on East Second Street today during Open House New York, and got to see where Samantha Raven hangs. It is as I suspected, she is in the eastern portion, not visible from the street. Samantha was fairly tolerant, letting me get about ten feet from her. Being that close I could see that it is her right wing that is broken. I don't think it is possible for her to stalk and kill a pigeon, as some have claimed, she is just not agile enough. Though, I have seen her scavenging a pigeon, already deceased.
Nunhead Cemetery was the last of London’s big 7 I visited in my initial run (for those counting there’s one more, but at the time of writing covid restrictions mean I can’t plan a visit to the last one yet) and I saved one of the best to last. There’s a huge variety of spectacular monuments over a huge area on all the main paths, but the real pleasure was getting off the main paths to find numerous hidden gems on many of the lesser used woodland paths.
Being a little more out of the way than some of the other magnificent seven this is one that could be passed over, or overlooked, but that would be a mistake as it easily holds up with some of the best free to enter cemeteries I’ve done.
