Concluding services at the Naalehu Cemetery for Mathan David. Many people have arrived and have parked their vehicles around the grave. Many of them will sit inside their vehicles to observe the most solemn rite in the human family. It provides me with the opportunity to take photos of graves of people I knew on Ujelang Atoll. Some have their photo taken around a photo I took of Mathan on Ujelang in the mid-70s.
I asked if it was OK to take photos, and was encouraged to do so - for remembering purposes. I tried to be respectful at all times of event and the mourners present.

Stephanie's Opa. It's interesting that he's supposed to have a Unitarian Universalist chalice instead of a cross on his headstone. And he did when the headstone was first placed. At some point, it was changed to a Christian cross.
The entrance to the small cemetery. It's a peaceful plot, separated from the main property by a grass-covered path.

Durrington Cemetery is a little out of the way, especially if your using public transport, but is worth the effort. I'd rank it up there as one my favorite cemeteries I've done.
It's set in a large beautiful woodlands area, with a huge collection of both historical graves and some amazingly decorated modern sections. That on it's own would be amazing, but also throw in some of the wildlife, including a couple of deer I saw wandering around, and it ranks up there as one of my favorites in the area.
Some fun with the Impossible Project, I sat on this film for a long time before I used it. It's shot on a Polaroid One. So, the pictures are iffy.

Beaufort National Cemetery. Lost among the "unknown" graves are the remains of Col. Robert G. Shaw and the African-American soldiers of th 54th Massachusetts who died assaulting Fort Wagner in 1863 (orignally buried at the fort by the Confederates, the mass graves of Union soldiers were reinterred here after the war).
