Bonaventure
This is the Bonaventure Cemetary located in Savannah, Georgia.
It was made famous by the book/movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. The statue of the bird girl on the book’s cover went unnoticed for over 50 years until that point and became such a tourist attraction it had to be moved to a museum.
Johnny Mercer, a popular American songwriter and singer, is burried here as well as Conrad Aiken, a famous writer of poetry, short fiction, and novels.

Excellent shot. Glad you were in the top Ten. I had a beautiful day shooting at Bonaventure as well. Love the POV. Should add this to the Vanishing Point group. The purple flowers at the end of the Spanish Moss is georgeous.
