  • This little section of the cemetery caught my attention.  The central monument lead me to believe that it was for a deceased member of the Marine Corps.  When I took a closer look, I got a chuckle that the eagle seemed to be looking at the iron cross to its right!

  • One of the things that makes older cemeteries interesting is the diversity of monuments.  In earlier times, people seem to have spent much more time on the type of monument chosen for a loved one as well as the inscription.  Apparently, the covering on the two pillars in the center have specific meaning.  I confess I don't remember what it is!

  • Looking north from the Washington Tower at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Watertown, MA.  While visiting our daughter, we decided to tour this very interesting and historic cemetery.  The tower is one of the highest points around offering incredible unobstructed views. <br />

This shot is all about the clouds, the sun rays and the many and varying points of light and color being created

  • Outside Bigelow Chapel at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Watertown MA is this sphinx.  At first I viewed it almost as a parody on the Egyptian original.  <br />
<br />
Having done some more research I learned that the chapel is dedicated to all those who fell in the Civil War.  The sphinx is part of that memorial.  The inscription reads <br />
"American Union Preserved<br />
African Slavery Destroyed<br />
By the Uprising of a Great People<br />
by the Blood of Fallen Heroes"<br />
It is in English on one side and Latin on the other

  • Mount Auburn Cemetery in Watertown, MA dates back to before the Civil War.  While touring this beautiful park, I saw this marker.  It is sad in that it commemorates the deaths of three children.  I was taken by the beauty of the stone, the details that have survived for over 150 years and the message of hope and faith it projects.

  • One of the old cemeteries in Shrewsbury, NJ.  This section is behind one of the old churches.  One nice thing about most cemeteries is that they truly are peaceful!  Some of these headstones go back to colonial days.

  • Another stone in Shrewsbury, NJ.  At some point, the Hazard family was the driving force in town.  I don't know all the details, but clearly the face on this headstone was someone to be reckoned with!

  • I was very fortunate to find a perfect day to be shooting at the old Sleepy Hollow cemetery (of Headless Horseman fame).  This stream flows through the cemetery and shows off some of the beautiful fall colors.

  • What could better describe the beauty of autumn and its glorious colors?  The water is moving very slowly here creating some wonderful color rel=flections to enhance the wonderful reds, oranges, yellows and golds on the trees.  Overall an oasis of peace and calm in a turbulent world.

  • What a tranquil spot to enjoy the fall colors and the quiet rushing of the water over the mini waterfall.  The wonderful autumn colors help to bring a feeling of quiet and peace on a glorious fall day.

  • In the late fall, the water levels are often low exposing some of the rocks that make up the stream bed.  As the water flows through and around the rocks it caries some of the fallen leaves but also creates interesting flows, pools and shapes.

  • Sleepy Hollow Cemetery os a beautiful and very peaceful place.  I happened along this grave and was very taken by the two angels who looked to be guarding and protecting a loved one.

  • Everything came together beautifully at this headstone in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.  The angel sitting sad and humble on top of the headstone and is that a small tear under its eye?  The angel is framed by the praying hands, a single rose and a stone to mark someone's visit to the dear departed.

  • Bigelow Chapel at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Watertown, MA.  This structure is a tribute to those who fell during the Civil War.<br />
<br />
It was getting late on a somewhat overcast day.  The spires and stained glass stand out beautifully against the clods as they roll by.
