Poulnabrone dolmen is a 5,000 year old portal tomb in the limestone Burren area of County Clare, Ireland. The dolmen consists of a massive flat capstone supported on several upright pillars, and would originally have been covered by a mound of earth. Archeological excavations found several traces of human remains at the burial site, which now stands as a stark reminder of an ancient civilisation. Looking back through the mists of time, who knows what ancient religious rites took place at this barren and windswept scene?

A powerful and bold sky above the old section of the Millicent Cemetery. The work and effort put into the headstones in these days is a testament to the love, honour and memories of those passed and those left behind. Canon 400D, 3 shot HDR, converted in Photomatix and tones altered in Photoshop.

In recent years this cemetery located in Savannah, Georgia is best known due to the book (and movie): “Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil” In addition some famous people are buried here, Johnny Mercer and Conrad Aiken are just to name a few. I like to walk in this cemetery because it is so peaceful and very interesting to look at. I like to go there early in the morning (when this photo was taken) when hardly anyone is there.

Towards The Five Sisters viewed from Morvich burial ground avross Loch Duich causeway Clachan Duich – Morvich Burial Ground Clachan (klockan) Duich (duhie) is the ancient church and burial ground of the MacRaes of Kintail. Located near the banks of Loch Duich, and a few miles south of Eilean Donan Castle, Clachan Duich has been in existence for at least 1,000 years and probably was in use three centuries earlier. Surrounding the ruins of the old church lie MacRae ancestors in graves marked and unmarked—some of them clan heroes and warriors, some of them simple folk of the Highlands. Clachan is the Scottish Gaelic word for “stones” and is used throughout Scotland to describe a village built of stones. Duich is name of the nearby Loch and is derived from the Scottish Gaelic term for St.Dubhthaich, or St. Duthac, a venerated religious figure.

Another shot from my cemetery series. This shot really caught my eye, man lays asleep waiting for the resurrection and nature lays dormant waiting for that breath of new life come spring. The orange of the leaves is a promise and a sign of hope that this is not the end of life but only the beginning. / / More in this cemetery series: / / / / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / / /

Some more photos from my trip to tassie last year XD This is an old cemetery in Richmond :) It was really quite odd there… the cemetery was built over a really steep hill, and a lot of the graves seemed to have ‘moved’. Really beautiful… but really spooky being there XD Some more info: The cemetery is one of a few in Tasmania which have been in continuous use since the early 19th century. It contains the graves of many of Richmond’s pioneers. / Convicts dying in servitude were buried in unmarked graves. This was originally suggested as the site for the church, but was considered too steep to manage. Many of Richmond’s leading early citizens are buried here and in St John’s Cemetery. Richmond, Tasmania Australia.

I went to the cemetery today to just enjoy the peace and serenity. My wife and I walked through and read the old head stones that dated as far back as the very early 1800’s. It’s hard to not imagine the lives of these people and what it was like on earth in their time. What lives they led and adventures they had… then your mind turns to those they left behind. This headstone is the burial place of a husband and wife from 1921 and 1927. After all these years someone still leaves flowers on their graves in remembrance. / / / / / / / / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography /

Another in my cemetery series… not too sure about this one. Just thought I’d get your opinions on it… Best viewed larger. / This tomb remined me of an old time horror flick… when something inside stirs at the onset of dusk and the lid slowly rises and deaths boney fingers creep over the rim… / / More from the series below: / / / / / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography

I shot this silhouette of my wife and our two children as the sun went down on the natural burial ground in Wales, UK, where my parents were both recently buried. It pretty much sums up the top of my list of priorities in life these days.

Located in the Ve arrondissement on the top of Montagne Sainte-Geneviève, the Panthéon, Paris is amazing. Its sheer size is impressive. The closer we got to it the more we couldn’t believe how big it was, almost impracticably large, like its size is as much of a statement as the architecture itself.

This is Llyn Brenig (Lake Brenig) on the Denbighshire moors between Denbigh and Cerrigydrudion. Although it is a man made reservoir it compliments the scenery and provides a sanctuary for many birds and other wildlife. If you look closely you will see some islands in the lake and these were discovered to be burial mounds, from the iron age I believe. If you look up King Bran on the web you will discover more about the burial mounds and the iron age society. / It is a popular picnic spot and a haven for cycling, sailing and anglers who fish for rainbow and brown trout as well as some large pike.
