in rural alabama. birthdates on sandstone hand-carved grave markers go back to the 1820s. F2a, Nikkor 50/2, HP5, D-76 1+1.
the sandstone "tents" once covered mounded dirt, but coffins and remains wasted away, leaving the gravesite flat or sunken underneath - and susceptible to new growth.
concrete picnic tables for dinner-on-the-grounds and decoration day for the cemetery. the church itself is defunct, but it and the cemetery are maintained, and the cemetery still used.

Very cool, Paul. I especially like the shuttered windows and the statue of the virgin. Thanks for posting!

Improving daily--I think.
I've always been attracted to cemeteries--as photo subjects, I mean. One can always find interesting things to photograph and soaking up some of the history can be interesting as well...

Keith, i'm attracted, too, especially if there are primitive markers, like these.
