More Cemetery Shots


These were taken at Woodmere Cemetery.  I thought the coffin looked very eerie sitting above ground.  Too bad it wasn't a foggy day, that would have made the image more eerie looking.
I love all the statues they have in the cemetery.  Some have been there for over 100 years and have been battered by the weather and other stuff.  It's kind of sad to know that the monuments meant so much to people who purchased them but are now neglected and almost destroyed.  A lot of the headstones themselves have sunken into the ground that you can even see them.  So sad.

Cemetery Shots

People think I am crazy when I say I love to go photo shooting in the cemetery.  But there is so much to photograph there and not too many distractions.  The architecture of the statutes, mausoleums and tombstones; the trees and flowers; ponds, rolling hills and winding roads; sometimes even wild life.  And there are not many people there to get into my shots.  Autumn is a very nice time to go there, the changing colors of all the different trees is awesome.  Give it a try sometime.
Well, since it is the Halloween season, I thought I would share some of my cemetery shots.  These were taken at Woodmere Cemetery in Detroit.
