A sunset walk in the nearby Cemetery

Close by to where I live is the Oak Grove Cemetery and one evening i was a bit frustrated about it either being to cold for early morning walks, or when it did warm up it was generally rainy and very windy and I had not bene out for a walk for a while so I decided to walk to and aroudn the cemtery at sunset

Now I say evening,but I headed out about 3:30 PM so I guess thats not evening but with the sun settign so early it felt like the evening

Its a beautifully laid out and well maintained Cemetery, the maintained part I know well as we see and hear them working there often, much to the frustration of my wife who likes to sleep in and when there workking with Lawn Mowers, Leaf blowers etc not to far from ther bedroom window it drives her nuts sometimes
Walking around the cemtery as I waited for the sunt o come down and hoping for some nice colors

Often when I walk through the cemtery I like reading the headstones and iMaginging what Life was like for the people buried there, especially in the older parts of the cemetery.
BUt for this walk I was more focused as the colors of sunrise came out onthe bare trees and colors in the sky

the sunset was not as colorful as I had hoped for but none the less it was nice to get a walk in and some fresh air

Hey @tattoodjay, here is a little bit of BEER from @pixresteemer for you. Enjoy it!

We love your support by voting @detlev.witness on HIVE .

I remember when I was a kid I was super scared of cemeteries, and my hands got super cold right after we entered the cemetery. But these days I find them super peaceful, and I am like you checking the headstones and imaging people's life. Especially, like headstones with photos.

Funny how with age our feelings about places can change

That's a very nice mausoleum, but I wonder how many people actually come and visit it. It seems like a tremendous waste of money to me. I bet they paid a pretty penny for that back in the day!

Well as we live looking onto this cemetery I can say without a doubt not many visit there, Mostly i see people walking there dogs through the cemetery, and maybe see one or two cars stop in the cemetery a day

That's kind of sad, but I'll be honest and admit that I haven't been to the cemetery where my grandma and grandpa are buried in probably decades. I know they are in a far better place, so visiting their grave gives me no solace.

I to havent visited the cemetery where my parent snor the one with my sone is buried for well over 15 years or more, I honestly cant even remember when was hte last time I went back to nZ

For some visiting a cemtery where loved ones are buried gives some solace I imagine, for me i like to think they live on in my memories

I agree with you.

Hello Mr. @tattoodjay good day

Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
for sure it snot a place for everyone, I have one friend who will not visit us in our house as its too close to the cemetery
Have a great day

Looks like some really nice pictures my friend

Thanks kindly your support is appreciated

Have a great day

Nice final shot with the trees in silhouette 👍 sunset is so early these days. We have had a long stretch of cold days. Cold short days get old this time of year 🙁

OHh yeah they get very old, at least inthe next week we may have two days where the peak temp is above freezing

!pimp

A clean and well-kept cemetery.
I used to be afraid to visit it, but since my husband died a few years ago, I have stopped being afraid.
Instead of fear, I feel tension, loneliness and melancholy...

So sorry for your loss, visiting a cemetery where ones loved one or ones are buried does have a completly different feeling

I can walk through our local cemetery here and chat away if my wife is walking with me, but when we visited the cemteries back in NZ where my Parents and Son are buried, I was silent and I can relate to the same feelings

Oh my god!
Sorry that my comment brought back additional memories....
Please accept my sincere condolences!
I wish you health and happiness with all my heart!
May grief never knock on your door!

PLease no need for apologies, thos ememories come to my mind from time ot time and I try and focus on remembering the times I had with them when they do come to mind :)

❤️

Beautiful and ethereal. I love to visit cemeteries and study the different type head and foot stones that families choose for their loved ones.

Thanks for sharing these serene images. The one at sunset is my favorite. Take care.
