From the Peré Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, I found this mourning statue such a moving and sombre tribute to those who have passed on. This statue was on one side of a family crypt door, with another statue on the other side. You can see the full crypt image here. Without trying to sound morbid, I have great admiration for the work that went in to so many of the crypts there.

Image of a mausoleum door in a cemetery in Prague. This is an early morning HDR image, multiple bracketed exposures merged into one. The colors and lighting on the doors were just fantastic. I also like the barely visible Numbers 88 and 89 on each side of the doors. The almost brandnew padlock sticks out like a sore thumb, so does the weed in the lower right corner by the door. It’s amazing how much more detail you find when you really look at an image for awhile. HDR Images / Prague Images / Aviation Related Images

La Recoleta in the centre of Buenos Aries, is a vast and extraordinary necropolis that has becomeone of the most relevant historical and artistic monuments of the country. It’s were the remains of Eva Peron lie. And it’s just staggeringly beautiful and massive. It’s a world class example of funeral architecture and has been declared a heritage site. Still using film here. Ifford HP5. Then given its dark sepia cast to intensify the nostalgic and removed qualities in the image.

This image was taken near the top of historic Myrtle Hill Cemetery, which overlooks downtown Rome, Georgia. The early citizens of Rome chose hills for cemeteries because of the flooding of Rome’s three rivers. Opened in 1857, this hillside cemetery covers 25 acres built on 5 terraces and is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Thank you for stopping by to comment on this image.

Rome, Georgia is known as the City of Seven Hills just like its big sister city in Italy. Rome was voted the #1 small city in the Southeast and was named one of Forbes Best Places in 2007. This image was taken on a summer day from the top of historic Myrtle Hill Cemetery, which overlooks downtown Rome.

The statue “Sound II” stands silently in the water in the crypt under the Ancient Normal Cathedral in Winchester U.K. The whole gigantic building sits on watery foundations! This part of the Cathedral dates back to 1079 and now stands well under the local water table, therfore is often flooded / This is a three exposure HDR ( long exposures, it is dark) -1, 0, +1 . Taken from my “gorillapod” off the bottom step before the water. /

Howl, somebody, through the stony twigs / Or dance a shape of life along the valley, / For the image fades and its creator / Sleeps in the sullen heat. (Chris Wallace-Crabbe)

Winchester Cathedral The crypt is an eerie silent part of the cathedral supported by stumpy columns and heavy Norman vaulting. It houses a well directly under the high-altar which probably pre-dates the building’s construction. The area is only open for examination in the summer months when it is dry. Throughout most of the year, the area is completely flooded as it lies well below the present water-table. You can, however, usually step inside the door in the north transept into a raised platform from where you can admire its simplistic beauty and wonder at the modern sculpture ‘Sound II’ by Antony Gormley (installed in 1986) which rises from the waters. The only thing I did too this photo was remove some noise… / Taken with Nikon D90

Rookwood Cemetery, NSW / Canon 350D Featured in Amazing Graves Group, October 2009 / Featured in The World As We See It , or as we missed it. October 2009 The Europeans who died in the first few years of the settlement at Sydney Cove were buried at Dawes Point (at what is now the southern end of the Harbour Bridge) and at land near what is now Erskine and Margaret Streets (near Wynyard Station). / / In 1792 the main burial ground for the colony was established on a site which is now occupied by the Sydney Town Hall and St Andrew’s Cathedral. By 1818 the cemetery on the Sydney Town Hall site was full, so governor Lachlan Macquarie established a new one near the brick-fields, known as the Sandhills or Devonshire Street cemetery. / / By the 1840’s, it became clear that this new cemetery was running out of space and so the search began for another, much larger site for a cemetery. In 1848 a new site on the road to Randwick was chosen. However, it was a controversial choice and after complaints from the Church of England, the Roman Catholic Church, government surveyors and local residents, this site was abandoned in 1859 without a burial having taken place. The earliest references to the district around what is now Rookwood Necropolis, occur in 1793 when the first land grants to free settlers in the New South Wales colony were made nearby. As a result of its association with the first free settlers, the district was given the name of Liberty Plains. One of the smaller grants in the area was made to a Samuel Haslam. / / The land, which was eventually to make up a large part of the cemetery, was granted to a prominent doctor, Parramatta magistrate and member of the legislative Council, Henry Grattan Douglas, in 1833. His grant, called “Hyde Park”, was soon leased to small farmers, charcoal burners and woodcutters. / / In 1834, Joseph Potts, Bank of New South Wales accountant, bought land next to Douglas’s grant from the government. A few years later, both the Douglas and Potts estates were bought by a Sir Charles Nicolson and then passed to Edward Cohen. In 1851, there were only about 270 people living in the district. Most were timber cutters who shipped timber along the Parramatta River. In 1861, Cohen’s brother and agent, offered the land to the government for a cemetery. / / In 1855 the railway between Sydney and Parramatta had opened and, four years later, a station was opened at Haslem’s Creek (misspelt from Haslam). Once the site was chosen by the government for a cemetery, the settlement around Haslem’s Creek grew as people who worked in jobs connected with the cemetery moved nearby. These residents, however, didn’t like the name of their village being associated with the cemetery at Haslem’s Creek, and so lobbied politicians to change the name of the settlement to Rookwood. / / In 1879 they were successful but, unfortunately for them, the cemetery then became known as Rookwood Necropolis. Another new name was sought for the settlement and in 1913 it was named Lidcombe (adapted from the names of two mayors, Lidbury and Larcombe. Informatuion from / History of Rookwood
