Here in Cleveland lies Lakeview Cemetary, one of the oldest and by far the biggest cemetary in Ohio. James A. Garfield, an early US president is buried there along with Rockefellers, Wades, Severences, Brainards, Lerners and all the wealthiest people in the state. It's one of the most beautiful and serene places I've ever experienced. This is my second trip there to take photo's. These 3 are multi-shot panoramics:
One of the larger Severance tombs overlooking a lake. The inside was modeled after a greek temple filled with millions of dollars worth of hand carved statues and stonework.
An interesting series of very old mausoleums. Some of the bigger tombs are built right into the side of a hill.
A long stretch of more recent graves.
These are single shots:
This is a typical mausoleum.
This is a view inside the Newman mausoleum. Solemn and cold. An empty vase sits atop an old wooden table. I always get a distinct feeling of melancholy when I look inside these things. The permanence of death is an inescapable thought.
