impulsereaderFor 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!

Date: 2012-10-10 03:59 am (UTC)I'm pretty sure I haven't seen a draped pair before, but I've been through so many graveyards snapping away that I could easily be proved wrong - if ever anyone were to actually troll through all my untagged pictures...though, as I mentioned in another comment, that symbolism is pretty American so if I eliminate the British graveyards my odds of being correct probably double. :-) It's a really cool monument in any case.
I'm glad you enjoyed these!
