The Graveyard Shift

Come on a drve with me around our local cemetary. It is only about three blocks from our house. We used to live across the street from one, and people would say they would not buy a house across the street from a cemetary. We didn't mind. On rainy days I would pull a chair up to the window and watch whatever funeral was ging on.







Returning in the twilight one evening, I saw something rather remarkable. Actually, several things, in the almost dark. But that is for my next post. Today is all about the light and color. My next post will be about the dark.

So beautiful with all the fall colors. I've never lived next to a cemetery but I don't think it would bother me. I find them rather peaceful.

Hi, Ginny!
Those Autumn colors are amazing!
I believe that living near to a cemetery must be very peaceful. At least your neighbours aren't noisy!
Have a wonderful weekend!
:)

I like it, and those fall photos, beautiful! We almost bought a house and I looked over the fence right into an overgrown family plot. Back when I was young it startled me some and the house deal fell through. Nowadays I don't think it would have bothered me as much. I would have probably tidied up the plot out of respect.

Look at all the Fall trees showing their color at the cemetery. This looks like a nice one, kept up and maintained. That is something that you used to live across the street from a cemetery. I've always found them to be a peaceful place when we visit our loved ones. And I really miss visiting my mom and dad there, but my brother reassures me that he puts flowers on their site often. : )

Oh my, I would love to live next to or across the street from a large, well-kept cemetery! I would walk there every day and take pictures of all the nature as the seasons turned. I make opportunities all the time to walk in cemeteries! In fall they are especially poignant! Lovely pics you took, Ginny. xoxo
