Graven Images

As a resident of New England, we have some fairly oldish cemeteries and I've always had a love for them. Serene. Peaceful. Historic. Here are some of my favorites.

Sarah aged nine from 1762 - one of the prettiest and best preserved stones I've photographed.



This row from a century later represents a big change in material and style -


When I travel I try to get to a cemetery if possible. This is from the Bullfrog Mine Cemetery outside of the ghost town of Rhyolite, NV. Many of the graves aren't even marked; just vague ovals of sand mostly blown away by desert winds.


And last, but not least, a pet cemetery in Massachusetts. Huge and still in use after decades.

Numbers 1 and 4 for me. The first one for the subject, the textures, and the very nice B&W conversion. The last one for the colours and the light. Thanks for sharing.

Howdy,

Really interesting and well shot, We really like to go to the Cemeteries, kind of like a look into the past.

That first shot is really well done, and like the last one as well, more for the subject matter.

Thank you all. Graves and cemeteries aren't everyone's cup of espresso, but I really enjoy them and try to do them justice.
