I am concluding my series from Beechwood Cemetery today. These two shots take in views of the newer section of the National Military Cemetery in the background.
These flags stand vigil over the section of Beechwood designated as a national cemetery for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Amazing headstones! I love it when creativity is incorporated into regular things.
ReplyDeleteNice photos Williams...
Very nice and well kept cemetery. Very impressive headstones.

An impressive monument with the crossed flags.
ReplyDeleteWow! Interesting statement about "true kindness".
ReplyDelete...the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have always had such a romantic allure.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting tour, and looks like the weather is good there.

@Revrunner: indeed.
@Tom: it has, yes.
@Janey: it was a good day to be there.
A most interesting section. We have a national cemetery about 40 miles south of Ocala where I could be buried because of my naval service. We visited once and it was acres and acres of white crosses. Beautiful, and impressive and depressing all at the same time!
ReplyDeleteThey deserve salutes.
ReplyDeleteI love the RCMP one and that last one.
ReplyDeleteSuch a difference in the tombstones in the first three shots compared to the more elaborate headstones William.. this has been an excellent series!
ReplyDeleteThere's lots of RCMP symbols in this cemetery and is most appropriate.
ReplyDeletethe Mounties and the buffalo head are most interesting.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how impressed I am, William. What stands out for me are those many, many rows of white markers.
ReplyDeleteThose military cemeteries are always so impressive. Thanks for the tour.
ReplyDeleteIt was a few days of wonderful pictures. Thank you, William.
ReplyDeleteso interesting, i really find it cool (not sure that is the right word i want there but i think you will know what i mean?) to see what folks get for remembering their loved one. love the buffalo, the flags, not sure i have seen that one, usually real flag but those look like ones that might last a while longer or do better with all the different weather conditions going on and the Sutton floral piece, that is so lovely!!

ReplyDeleteHow appropriate the markers are for the Royal Mounted Police. Great series.
