Thanks JAS. I'm contemplating hitting a couple old ones in Mass soon. Mt. Auburn in Cambridge is supposed to be wonderful for its history. My sister in law & her husband live near the one in Boston where Samuel Adams is buried as well as some of Ben Franklin's family (he lived in Boston as a boy before moving to Philadelphia).

Here's another from the same cemetery as the one I just posted. Tonally, it was pretty blah (as the ass end of winter is bound to be...don'tcha just love it?), so I did a selenium treatment and cranked the contrast. I like what it does with the grass in the bg - makes the stone pop more.

Very cool! Sounds like an interesting trip too. I like to wonder about the lives of the people who were thought well enough of that they have a little monument erected for them. I have relatives in Nova Scotia from long ago. My mom and dad visited out there a few years ago and took a few pictures of the old gravestones.
