What fabulous photos and I am so pleased to note that one of our girls was there with you as you wandered. I like cemeteries but would never opt to rest my bones in one – unless of course, it was as beautiful a place as this.
It looks less like a cemetary in some shots and more like the garden of a grand estate or art museum. Beautiful place. I’m sure very peaceful as well. Your photography is amazing!
Hi Sally- Evergreen Washelli is designed to be part of the community so it does have that park like feel to it-
also, a lot of kids have learned to drive there- (my dad was one of them- and that was over 5o years ago! ) so that’s how long that’s been going on, people jog there, walk there dogs and one on side think nothing of using it as a short cut.
Your photos capture the stillness of cemetries, that eerie silence that sems to rise out through the cracks of the broken tombs……oh dear, I’m scaring myself here!!
i do love cemeteries.

One can learn a lot from reading tombstones, especially those in the old cemeteries. There’s much art to be found there, too.

Great shots. I like the cat and the raven. Is that the Mister in the last one?

this one has some meaning for me Sen, so I wanted to feature it first-
there certainly is Vi- but I think most of Washelli’s art is in the landscaping- the trees here are wonderful
Yep that’s him Lori- plus you can see him in the background in the first shot.

I agree with Heather-I would not like to be buried anywhere-lest it were so beautiful as this place…
