A sombre photograph of an old cemetery that is both peaceful and poignant.

Guest - Jul 12, 2007 05:37 PM EDT Hi Steve, Very thought provoking. I enjoy meandering though reading the headstone inscriptions. They can tell a story or two.

Guest - Mar 13, 2007 08:27 AM EDT Nice image - I too like to wander through old cemeteries. They do tell stories.
Guest - Mar 09, 2007 04:46 AM EDT Thank you Alandra for posting your poignant memory.
Guest - Mar 09, 2007 12:41 AM EDT really nice, Steve. Reminds me of the cemetery at South Stoneham Churchyard, near my maternal grandma's home, Swaythling, Southampton. When I was a youngster, my aunt and I would go round there most evenings whenever I lived with them, while my mother was in hospital (often).
Guest - Mar 08, 2007 03:24 PM EDT Many thanks to all of you, Mary, Lorraine, Mike and Carol. And I'm glad you all felt the peace of this scene rather than its sadness.

Guest - Mar 08, 2007 02:45 PM EDT nice shot steve not a sombre picture but a thought provoking as with the Albert memorial great love and pride has gone into looking after it (queen vicky may have some to do with it ) but these people were once loved too how generations neglect them is be on me .
Guest - Mar 08, 2007 02:45 PM EDT I'm with Mary on this one, looks very interesting, some very old monuments in here.
