I love old cemeteries. There is so much history in them.

These are great in sepia - they're inspiring me to visit some of the cemeteries near me. Thanks for sharing the story behind it too.

Thanks to all of you! I believe the only ones haunting the old cemeteries are the living! I love to walk through, read the head stones and imagine what that person was like. The sad part is that there are so many baby stones. It is walking through history! Thanks again for your comments.

Very nicely captured. I like the sepia treatment too. Nice choice of effects in your post production.
