I seem to have spent a bit of time in cemeteries lately. More due to the fact that there are geocaches hidden there. One took me back to the cemetery where my great grandparents are buried. It is sad to see many of the grave stones in that state. The council says it is the families responsibility to pay for the up keep but as many have moved away they lie forgotten. Last year we paid to have my other great grandparents headstones repaired and then had a family reunion to celebrate their lives.
Geocaches? In a cemetery? Very curious! I spend time in cemeteries for genealogical reasons, but have wanted to get involved with geocaching. Hmm. Maybe after the snow and ice melt! Nice processing on this shot!
I went for a walk in the local cemetery this afternoon. Lots of very old graves in various states of disrepair.
