Yesterday, I spent a chunk of the day at Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio. It is one of my favorite places in the world. Because it was November 1, when I told people where I was going they thought I was being creepy and Halloweenie, or doing the "All Saints Day" thing. The truth is, it was a beautiful fall day, and I love the place.
It was a bit overcast, so not ideal conditions, but I still took a bunch of pictures. And it was at least warm. Here are a few of my photos to share...

Those are beautiful. I love the little mausoleum (?) with "Pennington" on the front, it's beautiful. And I love the memorial statue in the photo right beneath the Pennington one; the expression on her face is so moving and realistic. I think the overcast conditions add to your photos. Thanks for sharing them.
I understand your feelings about the cemetery. I used to hang out in them a lot when I was a kid. They are just the perfect place for introspection and reflection.
The photos of the pond surrounded by trees are wonderful.
Very nice pictures. I really like the shots of the creek--how misty they look. You did a great job with those.
I love hanging out in a cemetery. Especially really old ones.
Thanks for the kind words about the photos, it really looks serene, doesn't it?
Savannah, the one you are talking about is also my favorite - the photos don't do justice the beauty of the statue, though. That one is now my background on my computer.
