I have a fascination with going to cemeteries to photograph various statues and monuments. There is something about walking through a cemetery reading names... It gives a sense of the peoples past. I know some thinks it's an odd hobby but I have learned a lot over the years from doing this, and it helps significantly with genealogy. I'll start posting various things I like from cemeteries. How does your culture or area honour your dead?
I'll leave you with a quote I am rather fond of by Benjamin Franklin. I find it to be correct!
Show me your cemeteries and I will tell you what kind of people you have. ~ Benjamin FranklinIn memoriam of the children of A. & Eva W. Moore
