Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn, New York - Nikon D300 - that’s a big old tree. I’ll work with silhouettes from time to time. It seemed appropriate for this particular capture.

Riverview Cemetery, Henrietta, New York - Nikon D300 - an interesting pocket cemetery, as I like to call them; small enough to fit in your pocket.

Oak Hill Cemetery, Newburyport, Massachusetts - Nikon D300 - it took some highlighting to get this capture to work.

Old North Burying Ground, Ipswich, MA - Nikon D300 - a lot of talent behind this stonework. It’s as though Preacher Man wants to speak his mind.

St. Peter's UCC, Fleetwood, Pennsylvania - Nikon D300 - as you can tell, this photo was part of a larger photo. I want what my creative mind’s eye tells me I want. Actually, there’s a large headstone on the left side that I didn’t want in the final cut. It drew your attention away from the church, path, sky, and the remaining headstones.

Shawnee Cemetery, Plymouth, Pennsylvania - Nikon D300 - another sad ending - asylum, orphanage, pandemic of 1918?

Shawnee Cemetery, Plymouth, Pennsylvania - Nikon D300 - a very charismatic cemetery. However, you must be very careful in the back area. It doesn’t like ankles. LOL

The Corner Cemetery, Amesbury, Massachusetts - Nikon D300

Old Linebrook Cemetery, Ipswich, Massachusetts - Nikon D300 - perfect natural light once again.

Upper Octorara Church Cemetery, Parkesburg, Pennsylvania - Nikon D300 - Wm Stewart is married to Susanna, but seems to be cozying up to Jane who is married to Wm Davis. And Jane is obliging Wm Stewart. A veritable cemetery soap opera.

South Street Cemetery, Portsmouth, New Hampshire - Nikon D300 - just one of those crazy perspectives, but it works in an artsy way.

Mt. Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge, Massachusetts - Canon EOS 5D Mark II
