A Walk Among The Tombstones

Carrying on with this walk through Woodlawn Cemetery, I kept taking pictures.


I'm not certain as to if this is a tombstone. If it is, the inscription is well worn away.


This tombstone has always caught my eye during visits.

  1. ...cemeteries are such peaceful places and during winter they can be more so. The angel with the snow is a wonderful sight.

  2. There are always a few gravestones that stand out amongst the others, I agree with Tom, looks so peaceful in the snow 💙

  3. That's a very fine angel. I'm always attracted to such gravestones which were quite the thing to have back in Victorian times.

  6. My high school was near a cemetery where my ancestors were buried. During lunch time, a group of us went to the cemetery sometimes to look around. We weren’t the only kids who did that too. Strange but true.

  7. I lived down the street from a cemetery in Boulder, and I would sometimes take a short run around the perimeter. Your place is quite peaceful.

  12. Yes, I agree, the snow gives a bit of a quiet time.
    I hope we don´t get any, though!

  13. I like walking in old cemeteries.
    In Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Concord, MA, where love ones are buried, there is a gravestone, an actual stone that was fading when I was a child in the 1950s. I use to say hello when we drove by to let who is there know they are not forgotten even if the name is worn away.

  14. It doesn't look like you had much living company. Cemeteries are a good place for a sort of walking meditation.

    @Kay: I saw a handful of people around during my walk.

    @Lady Fi: definitely.

    @Sandi: that's true.

    @Jeanie: this one has it. Beechwood and Notre Dame up in Ottawa too.
