Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery Revisited


Today, we have a short visit to the Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery, a place we've been before back in 2018. Unlike the first visit, this one is all in monochrome. Going for the "art photography" look again.

The flower above is a rose from a casket spray that was left on the fresh grave of a new resident.



This flower is one that ws decorating another, nearby grave. Notice how the pollen has fallen off of the stamen onto the blossom.


Near the center of the cemetery is a row of large trees that provides shade for the residents and for visitors like me.


As you saw in the earlier post on this cemetery, these two grave markers are among the few that are photogenic in this place. Most markers are flush with the ground. Many are small, sloped-top markers with the vital information display, and some are traditional simple gravestones. Very few have any sort of statuary at all.


This little angel is, however, worth a look.
