Went to Woodlawn this weekend. A surprising oasis of calm in the middle of the Bronx. This is the closest thing to a "monumental" cemetery that I have seen in the US.

Nice emotional content on this statue, rather different from the standard "sad angel" bit:

This would have worked well for the "black and white in color" challenge. Timing is the tough bit, eh?
