“A cemetery is a history of people – a perpetual record of yesterday and sanctuary of peace and quiet today. A cemetery exists because every life is worth loving and remembering – always.” (William Gladstone 1809-1897)
Cemeteries, especially at this time of year, are often portrayed as very spooky places (which, of course, they are not)… I actually love walking through cemeteries and I took my camera along this last time in case you wanted to join me... Most of these photos were taken as the sun set and the moon rose above the trees...
You'll always find a wide variety of religious statues and artwork while strolling through a cemetery...
And you'll find yourself surrounded by angels of all shapes and sizes...
Many stones, especially older ones, are chiseled or cut to form crosses, some very simple and some quite intricate...
But what tugs at my heartstrings most are the everyday garden statues, most likely a personalized token of love from a family member or friend...
Well, the sun has now set, after painting the sky with beautiful peaches and pinks, and the moon is now out, so I suppose we should be going. (Even though cemeteries aren't spooky places, I don't think I want to be here in the dark!!) But thank you for joining me on this early evening stroll...
