Yes – I know the obvious choice for a Halloween post is cemeteries – but I don’t actually find cemeteries creepy or scary. Instead I find them intriguing, and they are one of my favorite things to photograph. I think a cemetery can tell you about a culture and history of an area. For this reason I often seek out cemeteries to visit as I travel.
Here’s a collection of some recent cemeteries I visited over the past few years. Big, small, old, strict, superstitious breathtaking, moving, and historical. Take a walk through my favorite cemeteries if you dare…and tell me which one is your favorite in the comments!
