Graveyard shift

[Wicked Dark]

I've only driven by this small cemetery about 1000 times. Literally. Probably more. It's on one of the main commercial drags in Manchester, NH - next to the mall, across from the Barnes & Noble and in the same block as Lowes. I'm sure if it were any smaller it would have been moved, but it's well populated and only takes up about an acre or so. Here are the best shots -

Nobody puts baby in the corner! E-30 + legacy 35mm f2 (oh how I love this lens), the other two were done w/the ZD 12-60mm.


Found out that G.A.R. stands for Grand Army of the Republic, basically Union Civil War vets -

Cemeteries photograph best in overcast light, so it was a good time to go. Plus just when I got done B&N opened so I could grab a book I've been meaning to get. Anyway...I scoped out another cemetery in the afternoon, one so full of wildflowers that I'm going back in a couple days when the sun comes out so they'll bloom.

I like all the wet grass around the headstone in the second one. It adds a nice touch of color and detail. What is it leaning against, a larger one?

oops, sorry, that's not very clear is it? It's a tiny marker resting against a huge headstone. The little one is about 5 inches.
