Grave Yards

I've been photographing in Pioneer Cemetery for years, but only last week noticed that the Civil War veterans plot accepted wives and children, whether the veteran/father/husband was buried there or not.

The first image exemplifies the latter condition. The second image has husband and wife together, though as the stones show, with different death dates and styles of commemoration.





Both with GXR/15 4.5 Heliar
 
not an RF, Minolta XG-M with MD 50 f/1.4, I think this is either Kodak Gold 200 or Fuji Superia 400. this is a few from the cemetery nearby my campus. we cut through it to make the walk to Costco (where I have my rolls developed) shorter. I had some frames left on the roll to kill.

Julia Morgan's Chapel of the Chimes (from the wiki): was founded in 1909 as a crematory and columbarium in Oakland, California. The present building dates largely from a 1928 redevelopment based on the designs of the architect Julia Morgan. The Moorish- and Gothic-inspired interior is a maze of small rooms featuring ornate stonework, statues, gardens, fountains and mosaics. The name "chapel" refers primarily to the style of interior design, as it is not a traditional cemetery chapel building.

With Provia 400F, the Minolta Hi-Matic E in dazzling noon sun in Mexico was maxed out trying to control the high lights. I return to this grave site every time I'm in Oaxaca. Peter
