  • This is a remarkable cemetery and I'm glad you put it together. Interesting too in that it shows some of the culture of the past. My mother-in-law died and her grave markings were stolen posthaste. It is telling of the attitudes of our times. I work in genealogy so have spent quite some time in cemeteries - none as interesting as the one depicted in this album. - Best regards, DeeAnne

  • It is amazing how we take graveyards for granted. When I was a kid it was a family affair to visit the graveyard once a year to pray for the dead relatives. For us kids it was always an adventure. Here, in your album, you have depicted many of the things that I observed then. Thank you for sharing. Regards from Paul in Ontario, Canada.

  • It is a fascinating collection Kelvin, of a once beautiful cemetery that hopefully will be restored soon and protected! Wonderful images, the light is gorgeous on this day and the detail and clarity of the stonework with your close shots are amazing! I wish you a beautiful day and thank you for your visit! It is always wonderful to hear from you! Sharon

  • I have always been intrigued by old graveyards and without sounding morbid, I am interested to read the headstones and try and imagine what that person may have been like. You have captured some very emotional images here, Kelvin and once again your photos have inspired me greatly. Regards...Sue

  • Your album has so many different stories to tell. I've been meaning to get out and take some shots of a cemetery just outside my neighborhood...(3 blocks away) but am waiting for nice enough weather for taking the walk. Your pictures are so gracefully captured and show only detailed lines of the true meaning of each subject. I truly feel so honored of your comments on my photo that I now have renamed it. I am doing this out of respect for those that have helped me in some way. Thxx Again and Good Luck with all your photos. Deb
