 I went by a few years ago, in March. It's often foggy there, close to the woods and backwaters of the Mississippi. |

Hansz,
Lovely photo.
The central tree has an appropriately mournful face.

Don't get me wrong ... both are fantastic pictures ... but I never felt any attraction to this kind of place. We have to be there early ... and long enough  |

O.K. So at St. Donatus, Iowa, a little town near Dubuque, founded by Belgian stone masons in the early 1800s.  |

Looks like Clint Eastwood should be passing through.

Looks like Clint Eastwood should be passing through. They was my thought too. This might turn into a monumental thread. Excellent photos so far. I've a few I can share, but I need to dig them up. |

I'm enjoying this thread -- is that the right word? -- anyway, some great shots here by everyone. I took this one in Colma, which is where all the cemeteries are. We don't have any inside San Francisco city limits, except for a small cemetery at Mission Dolores. My wife lost her best friend Carol many years ago and wasn't sure where she was buried. We just recently re-located Carol's burial place at this cemetery.  |

The US cemetaries seems to be much larger, the graves distinctly more separated than in crowded NL.

Just to set the record straight there are no cemetaries.
There are cemeteries.
