It continues to be interesting, but I can't comment on each. This one really caught my attention. So, why is everyone posting cemetery photos? BTW, you should go to Mt. Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, on the way to Watertown, for the best cemetery in greater Boston.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323811980627840654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071605392067240587.post-66337821684393298582012-01-11T23:44:35.533-05:002012-01-11T23:44:35.533-05:00It sure looks spooky.

The graves are huge and a bit neglected although I can see one that has flowers and looks well kept.

It is a pity that the tombs are falling apart and some look like ovens.

(I would have taken pictures, but family and friends were standing around watching, so it seemed disrespectful.) I think sometimes it's economics to use a mausoleum -- you can fit more bodies into a vertical structure than if you bury them each individually. The cemetery I was at today had both in-the-ground graves, and a section of mausoleums which went quite high -- 6 or 7 coffin-high layers up.Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781731425470579255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071605392067240587.post-23222527557486600242012-01-10T20:29:56.122-05:002012-01-10T20:29:56.122-05:00Firstly, CaT, the photograph is mesmerising!

But here, I have not seen them on BOTH sides of the access way, just on one side only. I could image the hairs on the back of my neck standing up as I became more and more surrounded by the resting places of the dead.<br /><br />I like your line about 'grave robbers in a more sophisticated way'. We have tours of cemeteries here but I have not been on any yet. But they provide lots of information, rather than protection.<br /><br />Thank you for your contribution to Taphophile Tragics. I am glad that Marianne influenced you.<br /><br />Now I will go and look at your other images on Flickr.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071605392067240587.post-2060934354050941062012-01-10T19:54:41.358-05:002012-01-10T19:54:41.358-05:00Very good capture Cat!Very good capture Cat!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071605392067240587.post-60912616280832571942012-01-10T17:16:08.912-05:002012-01-10T17:16:08.912-05:00This is a beautiful photo and all of the facts so ...This is a beautiful photo and all of the facts so interesting.Joan Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358008925558240778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071605392067240587.post-10350331231674891802012-01-10T17:01:28.224-05:002012-01-10T17:01:28.224-05:00Very interesting story CaT, I really enjoyed readi...Very interesting story CaT, I really enjoyed reading this!Nellieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280581604747080077noreply@blogger.com
