I always wanted my mother to look at the old burial grounds with me when I lived in New Hampshire. She even asked me one time, as she was getting kind of old and frail, if I was hinting that it was "time for her to go." I loved her sense of humor and willingness to poke around old gravestones with me. clairzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076402619649343527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854676529767641981.post-77378452735015275782012-04-03T10:48:54.933-07:002012-04-03T10:48:54.933-07:00I like all the photos but the one I especially enj...I like all the photos but the one I especially enjoyed is the country cemetery.

They are still made pretty much the same way today that they were hundreds of years ago. Plus the creation and casting of a bell was often a project involving the entire town. <br /><br />By the way, I think you have a good eye and some of the images, such as the wooden crosses, are more striking because of the point of perspective (the angles of the crosses toward and away from one another).Free Genealogy Guidehttp://freegenealogyguide.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854676529767641981.post-31806701040085580242010-07-18T15:24:19.966-07:002010-07-18T15:24:19.966-07:00I love to see unusual gravestones - thanks for the...I love to see unusual gravestones - thanks for the tour!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711776825293238093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854676529767641981.post-3472316865867522352010-06-09T16:47:54.976-07:002010-06-09T16:47:54.976-07:00Very interesting tombstones!

Great find and presentation.<br /><br />By the way, your photo below that of the San Juan Bautista Cemetery is glorious.<br /><br />Many years ago when I was a young man and came to California from Wisconsin, I had built up in my mind a picture of this verdant garden state, a Wizard of Oz level of green; so you can imagine my disappointment when I arrived to see the hills all brown like that. Since then, of course, even though I know the grass is not "native," it's the iconic vision of the state I came to know and love.<br /><br />And if it were me, I'd go up and shoot pictures of every single one of those wooden crosses and markers. They won't last forever and they're such elemental folk art.<br /><br />Thanks again for the fine stuff!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274717088538425802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854676529767641981.post-92067214147235928242009-12-16T20:29:03.426-08:002009-12-16T20:29:03.426-08:00Nice shot...Nice shot...Joe Dallmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04224079592917309659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854676529767641981.post-71778895393830751882009-11-11T07:29:25.395-08:002009-11-11T07:29:25.395-08:00I have received the Kreativ Blogger Award and now ...I have received the Kreativ Blogger Award and now I'm passing it on to you...thanks for being my first ever blog friend and continuing to read...<br /><br />http://cemeteryexplorers.blogspot.com/2009/11/cemetery-explorers-has-received.htmlJoe Dallmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04224079592917309659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854676529767641981.post-82735878396124319792009-11-05T12:09:38.145-08:002009-11-05T12:09:38.145-08:00Really great photos altogether.
