Toronto Necropolis and Crematorium

For the sake of those who might be here strictly for the cemetery pics I'm going to do this slightly out of actual trip order - which bugs me a bit, but I didn't actually do too much in the morning; it's mostly a bunch of, 'huh, isn't that weird' and 'hee, that's sort of cool, isn't it?' pics. Also, due to constraints of time I haven't resized these so I apologize if anyone is having to scroll sideways.


To set the scene.

And a bit of wrought iron detail because I can.

All right. Let's see...I'm going to start with, 'best wording'. I did well in this category, we have a few winners who, oddly, were all grouped together. Not sure if they were all family, but if they were that's a fun Thanksgiving.

I honestly snickered a lot before realizing this wasn't intentionally funny. It would benefit from some punctuation.

A great little riddle of a headstone. This one puts you to work.

Just because they're pretty...

I could very well be wrong, but I'm not sure I've seen a pair of draped pillars before. Such a neat image.

So now I've gotten all paranoid about the size and quantity of the pictures added to the new expand/collapse feature (plus time again) so I'll cut this into two pieces. There's a whole little area where the founders or some such paid tribute to themselves as their headstones, it's hilarious. So, more still to come!
