and got an excellent photo of it, no less! every flick ive caught was backlit and way too dark. i like these, sean. the fist time i went there was barely a dust of snow on the ground. to see it covered like this must have been something, especially as a solitary, gray exploration. you also caught some great new views of stuff from this post, like the wheels in photo #1:

Sean, Excellent photos!!! The place looks very peaceful, snow has a way of making anything look peacful. Does anyone have any idea what the wood artillery wheels are about? Also who is the statue of on top of Schwartz? I am guessing its a Hebrew prophet or Moses. Am I right?

I found this through Found Objects on LJ.

All I can say is WOW.

I am reading The Graveyard Book right now -- you should check it out. You could have been the illustrator.

These pictures will be in my new "the seasons" screne saver.

I LOVE THE FUNNY PREACHING MAN! Seeing him covered in snow is just adorable -- he looks so patient!

THANK YOU!

Thefirethorn, the funny preaching man may be a Rabbi. And he does look rather patient, doesn't he? :-)

Hi there. I just found out that my grandfather and perhaps my uncle are buried at Acacia Cemetary. How would I find out if they are and where they might be? Is there a records office or some central agency that lists the names of the dead. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. I want to pay visit them and pay homage. Thanks.
