The cemetery
Haven't written in ages, so I figured I would start with something short.
My thoughts on graveyards.
Personally I love graveyards. They are beautiful, peaceful and pleasant to walk around in. I have heard many people focus more on the creepiness aspect or or just the death side of it, but there is so much more than that!
My reasons for loving cemeteries:
1. They are picturesque. Its like a free sculpture garden! Most cemetery grounds are well kept and landscaped into perfection. If I spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on a headstone I would want people to come and admire it. There are also really funny headstones, makes me wish I had known the owners. A classic example of graveyard beauty is of course Mt. Hope, not only is the landscape gorgeous but there are many monuments that were done by famous artists. Its like being in a museum. which leads to my next point.
2. The history can be astounding. Have you known the thrill of coming across the oldest grave at a cemetery? I have been in quite a few cemeteries and have found civil war graves or even older. Back at Mt. Hope there are countless famous people buried there. Then there is family history. Seeing where members of your family are buried keeps you connected to their lives.
3. Its quiet. The peacefulness in a graveyard is great for walking around, thinking and relaxing. Heck I've been known to play guitar in cemeteries before, and stargaze in one to.
Those are my reasons, and no I'm not a creeper or obsessed with dead people. I just like to experience beauty, history and a quiet moment here and there.
