Bohemian National Cemetery

Sunday was sunny, so of course I headed out to the cemetery I've been meaning to tromp round. Sunny it may have been, but I eventually became truly concerned about the state of my toes.

There were a lot of trees and female figures along with a handful of angels. I will definitely have to go back when there isn't snow on the ground. The downside will be the leaves on the trees. I found the bare branches quite atmospheric.

You have some great shots in there. The first and third are my favorites.

Thank you. Yes, we have quite a lot of these tree trunk monuments in the older cemeteries in Chicago. The bark is usually folded back to 'reveal' the inscription and there is usually lots of lovely detail, such as that ivy growing up the back of it in the first snap. Trees and draped pillars - pretty distinctively american in nature. :-)
