Kristi ikes to wander around old graveyards and since we have graveyards older than her country, we've wandered around a lot of them.

This one is in the old town in Edinburgh.





Another one from Edinburgh.




Potterheads should get this one. This cemetery is just around the corner from the cafe where J.K. Rowling wrote the first Harry Potter novel. Quite a few of the names of characters in her books come from here.





From Elgin cathedral.





This is from the British war cemetery at San Carlos. This particular grave was for a man whose manner of dying got himself a Victoria Cross. Most people who get one of them seem to die in the getting. Doesn't seem like a fair swap to me *shrugs*.





A rather large and elaborate one. Think these were in Edinburgh too.








From Inverness. I keep thinking how inconvenient it must be to be buried halfway up a wall.





Another one from the San Carlos.





Port Stanley. This graveyard is a lot more tightly packed than it looks in these shots. Seriously, any small space where they can fit a grave in, they have one. Many are for sailors lost at sea in various accidents.





I don't particularly remember this shot, other than that it is another Falklands one. Guessing some sort of war grave.

I once asked about the skulls. Its because historically people were illiterate, so putting a skull and crossbones on it was an easy way of telling people this was a grave.

Personally, I prefer to think it means they were pirates. Way cooler explanation.

I think being it's in a graveyard, they would figure out it's a grave.
Yeah- I like the pirates idea too.  Wink

My cousin with the sheep farm, dirt track race bike & the electric race bike that's now in a museum has an old family cemetery belonging to the original owners of his property....

For several years, he didn't know that the local church was having special dawn service there every Easter Sunday, until he & his wife showed up for church one Easter Sunday, & one of his neighbors asked him why they didn't see them at the dawn service.

Right outside their window....

You find skulls crossbones and the like on Christian graves as a reminder to the living.

There's a cemetery in Mom's home town which I have never been in but always seem to dream about for some reason. One of my aunts is buried there but I've never been in there.

The cemetery in Pretoria West has a number of interesting graves, among them the controversial Prime Monster Hendrik Verwoerd, the Boer War leader Paul Kruger and these two soldiers who were allegedly shot by firing squad for following orders.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
