Please don't think I'm weird or disrespectful, but one of my favorite places in town is the cemetery.
This cememtery dates prior to 1831.
It's the final resting place for soldiers of the confederacy and victims of shipwrecks and yellow fever.
It's so beautiful and haunting and magical.
I love the way the light comes through the trees and moss.
This place takes my breath away.
Sara, OMG, these pictures are AMAZING! I know I keep saying that but SERIOUSLY, missy, you have major talent! I want to pack up my Nikon and all my lenses and go on a photo shooting journey with you, what do you think?! I am just in love with your style and love that you are obsessed with sunflare like me too! :) Bravo lovely lady!
ReplyDeleteWow, so much history! I would love to be able to hear their stories. And I agree with Trish--your pictures are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are incredible! What a beautiful cemetery...which I don't think is disrespectful to say because what is better then all these people having a beautiful resting place?
ReplyDeleteI love cemeterys too. They are so beautiful. These photos are great sara.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I don't think your'e weird. My brother has an old cemetary in CT - we used to take the kids "stone rubbing" making impressions of the stones on paper. There's also a famous & gorgeous cemetary in the bronx where friends of ours plan on taking their wedding pics.
ReplyDeletethose pictures seriously look professional!! impressive!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I love to explore old cemetaries- I always like to read the unusual inscriptions, and think about hose people's lives. These pictures are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThese pics are amazing. I'm still trying to figure out where you went! Google is not helping. ;)
ReplyDeleteYeeaaah, so I just re-read this post. I should clarify: My brother has a cemetary NEAR HIS HOME in Connecticut. He doesn't erm... own one. That would be creepy. *rolls eyes at self*
ReplyDeletesuch lovely pictures! i think cemeteries are really lovely - a nice way to pay homage to the past and get a sense of a city.
ReplyDeleteSara, these shots are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSara, I love cemetaries too. I played hide and seek in the one by my grannt's house as a child. Weird? Maybe...but your pictures are amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteI mean my granny's house.
ReplyDeleteWOW amazing photos! My bestest took her wedding photos in this amazing cemetery in her town in Canada. People thought she was nuts. They turned out so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI think it's cool if you are respectful (which it is obvious you are). I get sad when I go to an old cemetary and can't even see the engravings on the tombstones anymore because they're so weather worn. So, you're taking photos helps preserve the memories.
ReplyDeleteThose are some great pictures!!! They remind me of the scene from Double Jeopardy in the New Orleans cemetery!
ReplyDeleteI especially love those wire markers - I've never seen anything like that before! So interesting!
Oh my stars, that cemetery is amazing, and you did such a great job photographing it! This makes me want to take more pictures!
