I saw the subject and decided to venture out to the local pioneer cemetery on a drizzly Saturday afternoon.

First one: Stubenrauchstrasse Cemetry, Berlin-Friedenau (where Marlene Dietrich and Helmut Newton were buried - and Ottomar Anschütz, one of the contributors to the invention of the leaf shutter). Second one: closed-down Jewish Cemetery, Hannover (Nobody allowed to enter, authorities obviously still being afraid of Nazi hooligans, sad thing to admit).

Obscenity on a old stone..

What a shame. Here in NC, they recently caught three kids who defaced a bunch of headstones in a cemetary. A local stone quarry repaired the headstones for free that same week, without comments - they just showed up and did it. And the boys? They face felony charges - the PA says he won't reconsider - they're over 18 and going to go to prison - it is a felony here.

Best Regards,

I have always cemeteries fascinating. The headstones and monuments in old sections can be works of art. Here are two shots from my Yashica GSN.

Sorry for the tiny images. The two photos are also in my gallery.

The first 2 are from 2 public cemeteries in Zurich, Switzerland. The last is from a cemetery in Penang, Malaysia.

Old cemetary of Vysehrad in Prague, near the Capitular SS. Peter & Paul gothic church. I've heard that nowadays it's used as a sort of pantheon of famous people of the czech nation.

I have some others I'd like to post later - but picking up on dexdog's post (#2) the "finger" was apparently a very popular theme in the 19th C. - this was taken a a Reformed (f.k.a. Dutch Reformed) churchyard in Copake:
