Cemetery Sooc #34

IMG_7589


I have this weird fascination with cemeteries, but I'm not alone I know. I have had this photo in a file for a long time waiting to be shared and just finally decided to through a few Wisconsin cemetery photos here together. They were all taken fall of 2008.  Currently I'm in New Orleans and one of the reasons I came was to see the cemeteries. :)

  4. The photos are superb. I, too, have a certain fascination with cemetaries. I wonder the about who the people are, thier lives, how they lived, the time in which they lived, etc.

  11. I love photographing cemeteries as well- I always feel odd doing it, but some of the images are so moving. I love the 2nd image- it seems so remote. Enjoy the NOLA cemeteries- they are really fun!

  13. I have a fascination of cemeterys to..... some calm and peaceful and other's quite creepy. The ones in Paris have lot's of great photoobjects (but I don't have any from 2011 so I cannot post them) so I guess I have to return there. Paris is a great town in many ways :-)
    The first one here has a calm and peaceful feeling
