Went for a walk through this old cemetery not too far from my house. It had that old, New England, Steven King feel to it. Got some good shots. Some of the stones dated back to the 1700's Thought I'd share... (Click to make bigger)
I would like to comment on the "unknown" grave marker. Perhaps someone could explain to me why it is necessary to mark a grave "unknown". I thought grave markers were set up visitors, not for the dead. If no one knows who's in the grave, who is going to visit it? What a slap in the face for this poor dead bastard... where's the dignity in sticking a billboard in the ground to let everyone know that he had no friends when he was alive either?! I say we give him a name...not just any name, a name that will attract a visitor or two like "Free Beerman" or "Jesus Christ, son of God"
