Graveyards

Tiana and me wandered around Prospect Cemetery in 2015, and she took some cool photos. It's a huge graveyard, with stones in back dating from the early 1800's. I'll have to go back there next year and get some shots of those old, busted stones in the overgrown woods.
It was on Halloween too! Yikes!

Those are strikingly beautiful, RC. The stone with the infant lying on it is especially poignant.

You're safe to go in graveyards on Halloween because that's the one day per year they let the ghosts leave the property.

Nice pics. We went to an isolated Jewish cemetary in a wood-ish area on Halloween a few years ago. It was hauntingly beautiful and creepy the same time. Some pics (not mine)

I love to walk around in old graveyards.

No they ain't.

Back in the day, we'd go to different cemeteries to eat take out food or smoke weed. This was one of them:

I love old cemeteries. The dead are great listeners.

And they make excellent neighbors.

Came here to post this, they're quiet neighbors

I told my mother in law her son and I were getting married here. Alas, that failed to kill her.
