Eternal Silence - Or Swallowed By Mother Earth

cemetery man!
expeditions with recording equipment in places of bereavement, hosted by Francesco della Morte

an unusual dog cemetery at Edinburgh Castle in Scotland
the small graveyard in Edinburgh where Adam Smith was interred
a sparse church graveyard at the enormous Wells Cathedral in Somerset, England; anecdote: the cathedral has a functioning 1000-year-old wooden clock – one of the oldest in the world
in the little village of Corscomb, Dorset, lies an old church;
this is the church graveyard near sunset
Highgate Cemetery in the north of London;
heavily overgrown with brush, it's an adventure to wander around
the graveyard of King's Chapel, Boston, dating to colonial times;
cramped conditions called for an efficiency of space
America's 1st garden cemetery, Mt. Auburn, in Watertown, Mass;
this is an early photo attempt and one of my favorites (yup, that's Leo Jr.)
..befitting a "garden" cemetery, Mt. Auburn has many opulent gravesites
here are 4 photos from Old Burial Hill in Marblehead, Mass
..a lonely, old-style headstone that's still remembered (only 1 generation removed)
..one of the older headstones, with awesome antique names
..an apparent well turned into a flower pot of sorts (shot by stargazer sbc©)
next are 6 shots of lovely Evergreen Cemetery, adjacent to Boston College
..acid rain, erosion and possible sabotage were unkind to this 120-year-old sculpture
..pitting (oxidation?) mars this Evergreen memorial of purity and virtue
..a lovely Celtic cross (with the pagan circle of life running through it), featuring the trinity and possible family crests
..another Celtic cross, adorned with Celtic knots
..a magnificent memorial and a toppled urn round out our tour of Evergreen
Yarmouth, Cape Cod: a golf course (Kings Way) couldn't uproot the (historically significant) gravesite of John Hall
Binghamton is an old industrial town in southern New York that has been slowly wasting away since its heyday during the robber baron era of the late 1800s
..these shots are from a couple of Binghamton cemetaries whose most creative monuments date to the Guilded Age.
..lumber crops up as a theme on many monuments
..lumber theme, take 2
..a grandiose, lumber-themed monument
(Alonzo and Lydia – lovely!)
..the Scots-Irish contingent are represented
..the children's section of St. Patrick's Cemetery, on the Susquehanna River
..and a final panorama of a Johnson City (outside Binghamton) cemetery
the debris-blanketed graveyard at Saint Paul's church, next to the World Trade Center, a few days after the towers were destroyed (photo credit pending)
a section of the expansive Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia
..President Kennedy's gravesite at Arlington, with its "eternal" flame
remote Rose Hill Cemetery near Antioch, California
(foto kredit pendink, ja)
a neat photo of an unplaced children's cemetery
(ze credit, she pends)
weirdo photographer wreaks destruction on insects, microbes, and moss
~ i shall add more exciting photos as i produce/ acquire them. ~
