*Süntelbuche im Herbst*
Last Wednesday I drove to the northern Eifel to catch a few autumn moods. Fortunately, the over 200 year old dwarf beech tree on a Celtic burial mound near Blankenheim still had a few autumn-colored leaves ... and occasionally the sun came out.
Letzte Mittwoch fuhr ich in die Nordeifel, um ein paar herbstliche Stimmungen einzufangen. Die über 200 Jahre alte Süntelbuche auf einem keltischen Grabhügel bei Blankenheim hatte zum Glück noch ein paar herbstlich gefärbte Blätter...und gelegentlich zeigte sich auch die Sonne.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

On this day, Peter Sanchez ashes were set out into the Atlantic Ocean by three of his daughters, his niece, and his son in law. A day at the beach and a celebration of his life. A grand farewell.

Tomb from the church of Näshult, which predates the current church (the church is from 1735 - the burial from 1572). And the photo lies a bit - the stone is placed in the floor, not standing up, but I liked the effect from this angle.
The man buried here is Nils Persson from Holma, of the noble Silfversparre family (Silfversparre is a description of the coat of arms which later was used as a family name, so if you look at the stone you can see that coat of arms, but the name Silfversparre isn't actually mentioned). Nils Persson was first mentioned in 1529 and had several important functions in the higher echelons of society - though they are hard to translate to English so I won't try. He died October 19 1572, at six in the afternoon (according to the stone). Nils Persson had acquired a lot of land in his life-time and he seems to have been rather ruthless - and he had actually killed a man in 1551. He had at least three children, including a daughter - who was also accused of murder. She was later executed, but not for that, but for treachery towards the king. You can't help but get the feeling that if you were important enough, back in the day, you really could get away with murder...
Maple species grow wild in Japanese mountains but often planted in gardens for its autumn colour. Early December is the best time for viewing in Tokyo.
Kouraku'en seems to have special emphasis on this plant.
Tokugawa Mitsukuni (徳川光圀 1628-1701), who completed the construction of Kouraku'en in 17th century, is a popular figure known as Mito Koumon (水戸黄門) who travelled around Japan after retirement and punished corrupted officials encountered while on the road. It is a fiction created in late years, but TV series of travelling Mito Koumon is still popular in Japan.
Although he did not travelled around Japan, he was a curious man. He liked wine and cheese, introduced knit products from Europe to Japan, sent expeditions to Hokkaido that is now part of Japan, and experimented archaeological excavation of ancient burial mounds.
He is also known as the first person who cooked ramen in Japan by getting recipe and foodstuff from China through his Confucian connections.

Something a little different for Christmas
A view along Low Street over Jackson Bridge in Lastingham, North Yorkshire, England. Low Street is a Cul de Sac
Jackson Bridge is over Hole Beck and is Grade II Listed. The stone plaque on the bridge is dated 1863,
There is reason to believe that the original name for Lastingham was Læstingau. Læstingau first appears in history when King Ethelwald of Deira (651-c.655) founded a monastery for his own burial
After a lengthy cold journey up the loch in a slow little boat, we eased in under the shelter of the the far side of the island, jumping ashore once the boat could get no closer. We fought up the steep edge, slippery with rain, and tangled in ripping brambles, stumbling over tree stumps and hidden marker stones. And as the summit opened out we were surrounded by lichen encrusted crosses and headstones and other memorials. There were signs of relatively recent human invasion with small, weathered bouquets of plastic flowers laid at one or two graves, but otherwise we might have believed we were the first visitors in hundreds of years. For this was the burial island of St Finnan's, ancient burial ground of the Chiefs of Moidart dating back some 2000 years. Only possible to visit by boat, there were signs indicating some have been buried there since the year 2000, mainly with commemorative plaques (and plastic flowers). But otherwise the island is unspoiled, wild in nature, and extremely atmospheric. Was that dark brown shape I saw a golden eagle swooping from its perch across to another tree on the far side of the island, when we first arrived? Not much seems to be known about it's history, perhaps lying woven into Viking sagas. So isolated and silent was the place I was grateful to find later that our ferryman had waited by the boat for us.
IR shot of a Neolithic burial mound overlooking the village of Avebury in South West England. Avebury itself is a Neolithic henge monument in the South West of England containing three stone circles likley to have been over 3000 years BC. One of the best known prehistoric sites in Britain, it contains the largest megalithic stone circle in the world. It is both a tourist attraction and a place of religious importance to contemporary pagans.
Constructed over several hundred years in the third millennium BC, during the Neolithic, or New Stone Age, the monument comprises a large henge (a bank and a ditch) with a large outer stone circle and two separate smaller stone circles situated inside the centre of the monument.

The sarcophagus, which was placed in the center of the burial chamber out of sight here, would have been inside this outer container, which was smashed to pieces by grave robbers. Still, the dark stone, lit from below, makes for a dramatic scene against the light colored walls.
As far as anyone knows, the tradition of burial at sea has been in practice for as long as people have gone to sea. In earlier times, the body was sewn into a weighted shroud, usually sailcloth. The body was then sent over the side, usually with an appropriate religious ceremony. Many burials at sea took place as recently as World War II when naval forces operated at sea for weeks and months at a time. Since World War II, many service members, veterans, and family members have chosen to be buried at sea.
This is the grave of Maria Luisa Montesano, born Levi della Vida in 1882, who died in 1968. And it's like nothing else I've seen. So the grave is rather modern, but it incorporates Roman spolia [Wikipedia definition: a stone taken from an old structure and repurposed for new construction or decorative purposes.]. It's an ancient Roman cinerary urn on top, but with Montesano's name added. The frieze on the front comes from a Roman sarcophagus, and then there are some added elements from at least one statue and parts of columns are used both as decoration and as the lower name plaque.
At the Protestant Cemetery in Rome, as it is popularly known. The name of the cemetery is actually Cimitero Acattolico, which means the Non-Catholic cemetery.

St Patrick’s Chapel, Whitesands Bay, Pembrokeshire, Wales
Extract from the BBC website “ Hundreds of medieval bodies have been saved from sands eroding into the sea at Whitesands Beach in Pembrokeshire.
The bodies, which have been preserved in the sand, are being excavated at a burial site at St Patrick's Chapel.
The remains from the site, which was a medieval trading post with Ireland, will be stored at the National Museum of Wales.”
IC #1021 rounds the curve at 35th Street near the site of the tomb of Stephen A. Douglas, Illinois Senator and lobbyist for the Illinois Central Railroad. The infamous Union prisoner-of-war camp, Camp Douglas, was located just north of here on land that Douglas sold to the State of Illinois in 1861. Dubbed "Andersonville of the North", it is estimated that over 6,000 Confederate prisoners died in the camp and are buried in Oak Woods Cemetery off 67th Street.

Burial Island lies just east of the easternmost point of the Irish mainland, Burr Point, Co. Down (54° 29' N 5° 26' W), from which this photo was shot.
Nobody is sure from where the name derives. Local stories say the name comes from a Danish burial reputed to have taken place on the island. The name might also derive from the Irish for cormorant, na broighill, or from the pronunciation of “Burr Isle”. The island is inhabited only by terns.
Robin Hood's Hill - a 3000 Year Old Bronze Age Burial mound near Oxton, Nottinghamshire, UK. It was excavated in the 18th Century, and a sword, dagger, urn and beads were found. It was originally called Robin Hood's Piss-Pot after a stone basin which sat at the mound's summit, but Victorian Map-Makers sensibilities were offended, and the name was changed.
The Sautee Nacoochee Indian Mound is an archaeological site on the banks of the Chattahoochee River in White County, Georgia, that was first used as a burial site and later by the Cherokees as a site for their townhouse and ceremonial rites.
The east section of Aucklands Symonds Street Cemetery Is looking neglected but it is a quiet enclave with good walking trail.
The east side of Symonds Street Cemetery was the Anglican and Weslyan burial grounds.
The early cemetery was segmented into four sections by religious denomination - Anglican, Catholic, Jewish, and Presbyterian with other general religious backgrounds.
In 1905 the Cemetery was closed and given to Auckland City Council as a public park.
It is estimated by Heritage New Zealand that less than a quarter of the around 10,000 graves in the cemetery have grave markers and most of them are in a state of failure.
