Default Some of the natural beauty on the grounds of an cemetery

The first three shots were taken on the grounds of an old cemetery.....You'd never know by these shots....The last is of a couple of cone flowers at my workplace

Patrick, you must live in one of the most beautiful places in the country....this is not like any cemetery I've ever seen. That last shot is stunning.

I have never seen a cemetary that looks like that one. Great captures.

I wouldn't think so at all, but this place has an area down near the center of the grounds with 2 small ponds and one area, an open space with gardens...It is in a natural low lying area and may tecnically be in a flood plain which might be the reason there are no graves in this particular area.

I heard that there is a very photographic cemetery in Louisville.....lots of people shoot portraits here and lots of pros can be found shooting here too
