Happy Halloween!!!

The crazy lights on this scary pumpkin head are enough to make you jump as you walk by. This was taken last year at the No Mercy Cemetery in Mountain View, as the No Mercy is no more. The people that put it on moved away so there weren’t any decorations on the lawn this year, but the previous years made it worth doing one more tribute.

Happy Halloween!!!


Dearly Departed

This is just one example of the intricate headstones at the Granary Burying Ground in Boston. Old cemeteries such as this one, founded in 1660, have a completely different feel to them than modern cemeteries.


Halloween Cemetery

This creepy looking grave in Graceland Cemetery in Chicago seemed perfect for my Halloween post. This old cemetery has many unique graves, but this one with a cloaked man watching over you had a certain presence to it.


Graves and Twists

The cemetery at the Presidio in San Francisco is the best view I’ve ever seen from such a somber place.  Everything in the area is just beautiful, but there are some really dramatic slopes and trees in the cemetery.  I love the twists in the trees from the wind as it comes in off of the bay.

This is my 100th post.  Woohoo!

For those wondering why I would post about death for my obviously special 100th post, the truth is it snuck up on me.  I didn’t realize it was the 100th until I had already chosen and processed a photo, so I just decided to go with it!

Monument

Graceland Cemetery in Chicago has some very cool and very old graves. This is one of them that I tried to focus on one detail and let the rest of the tower fall into the background.
