Angels in Stone

An Hour in Green-Wood Cemetery ...

[Click on any photo for a magnified view.]

Someday I might like to spend an eternity in Green-Wood Cemetery; an hour today was very pleasant. If you've never been, I recommend that you try to make the trip. Photography is frowned upon, but no one frowned upon me personally, so I kept taking photos.

Green-Wood is famous for its many angels (and parrots). We once saw a dramatic performance in which dancers dressed as stone angels posed among the tombs, occasionally perching themselves on walls and tree branches. It might sound eerie, but it was really beautiful.

I liked this girl, too.




















A view.














Another view.




















The cemetery has its own views. (That's Manhattan and maybe New Jersey past the derricks through the mist.)





























There are some flowers, too -- not as many as I expected. If you like big, old trees, there are lots of those.




















And finally, there's "Our Fred."
