Lots of old, interesting headstones, mausoleums and family vaults. In Key West, they buried people with a huge slab over the body so they wouldn't float away in hurricanes and floods.<br /><br />I never thought to take photographs! You KNOW I will the next time I visit!<br /><br />big hugs :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31232156.post-47348818489708270452010-07-20T14:20:39.955-07:002010-07-20T14:20:39.955-07:00Cemeteries are not something that are seen to much...Cemeteries are not something that are seen to much around here, for some reason. We have them, but there seem to be just a few and they are quite large and have no personality. The small, "country church and grave yard" scenario is not seen as much as it is back east. I noticed quite a few of those when we were in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.Desert Songbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320552900816326120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31232156.post-6482580389421331472010-07-20T08:47:16.496-07:002010-07-20T08:47:16.496-07:00I love old cemeteries too.

They are old forgotten places, at least that is what it appears. Then you find that the cemetery improvement committee is working.<br /><br />We were in the ghost town Aruora Neveda a few years back and the cemetery committee is still working there with funerals continuing to happen. Interesting.<br />zZane D.

I always feel sad about unmarked graves, like no one loved the person...but our Father certainly did.<br /><br />Big hugs, honey...Traveling Bellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03676508973837237488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31232156.post-20912249433467299042010-07-20T07:18:41.580-07:002010-07-20T07:18:41.580-07:00The contrast between cemeteries here on the East C...The contrast between cemeteries here on the East Coast and those on the West Coast has always made me think that those on your side of the country as so much more forlorn but at the same time, they speak volumes of the land and the people who crossed rivers and mountains and endured so much hardship to get there. <br /><br />The stones and monuments speak of harder times and - in some cases - harder people than those who are buried under the grass and knolls of New England. They conjure up images of wagon trains and pioneers and the lawlessness of the Old West even though I'm sure that's not the case in all instances! <br /><br />Lovely photos, Gracie, just lovely but they do give me a sense of loneliness more so than the cemeteries back here do. I think it's got to be the hard ground that covers the souls that does that. <br /><br />More!
