Welcome...
I am a 'fan' of cemeteries, for lack of a better word!
People think it's a bit weird, but I know it's not. Thousands upon thousands of people get pleasure from such places all over the country, and beyond. As is shown by the many 'Friends' groups, one of which I am a member of, connected to Nunhead Cemetery.
I also like looking at war memorials, and suchlike, not just in gardens, and squares, but inside buildings too. Often in churches, adjacent to little burial grounds.
I try to take photos not just of the big, famous cemeteries, but also of smaller ones. What I call the 'forgotten ones'. Often they have 'nothing of note' in them, but I still derive pleasure from recording them for posterity here, some possibly for the only time.
There is no rhyme or reason to which ones I choose, it is just random to be wherever I happen to be; often going somewhere when watching football & spotting something to photograph.
All of the ones that I will publish here have been snapped by myself since around March 2007, and I have started publishing them here commecing the end of May 2008. They won't be regularly updated, as it is very time consuming, and I am not particularly skilled with computers to say the least, and this is a very slow learning process for me.
The pictures are not top quality, they are taken with a very basic digital camera, and I am an 'amateur' amateur photographer! You may have to wade through quite a few 'boring' ones to find one that you really like. I make no apologies for this, the vast majority of these places I will never return to, so I'd rather have too many photos on display, rather than not enough!
All I ask, if you enjoy looking at them, is to spread the word, and tell others who enjoy cemeteries and memorials to look in. Even link to your own Cemetery sites.
And please don't be shy. You are welcome to use the comments facility, you don't have to be signed up to blogger to do or, or leave your real name if you choose not to.
Thank you!
