A grave subject

Just to show I can post something other than Q&A memes, here's a spiffy site with photos from graveyards.

As I commented to Doyce when he posted this, I find cemeteries fascinating just for the statuary, for the inscriptions, for the summing up of lives in a bit of marble and bronze. I really don't see it as "a place full of dead people." I see it as "a place of memorial," like going to an ancient cathedral, an old temple, a stone circle.

But, then, I'm a history wonk, so what would you expect?

Quoth David Newman ...

Strangely enough, when I first read your post, I thought you said "robots from graveyards" rather than "photos from graveyards." Now where did I get that?
