These were from this cool cemetary in Charleston, SC, a fascinating city to visit. I was there last April, when I also went to Savannah.
I especially like this style of tombstone, with the angely / children's faces and the wings.
I know it sounds strange, but cemetary pics make me feel peaceful.
One of the best things about moving to New England has been the cemetaries. There are all these quaint, interesting, old cemetaries around nearly every corner. And they are so unlike the cemetaries in California. In California, it's like all the graves were laid out on a perfect grid. There's this haphazard, overgrown quality about many of the cemetaries here. And they are old, so old.

I know what you mean! Cemetaries back home in Ohio are so much better than in CA. When I die, I told Doug I am not to be buried in CA with a flat tombstone in a big, mown lot. They are so boring! I want to be buried with a big, beautiful tombstone. Someplace where the children can come and see old tombstones from ages past, worn by weather and sitting underneath huge trees.
