Graves and Things

Ok, so Kim and I went to New Bern recently. New Bern is quite an historic town. In other words, its very very old. We stayed at a neat little Bed and Breakfast there. One of the things we did is drive around and take photos of some old things. So we were driving and we came around this corner and the coolest cemetery I have ever seen rolls out over this beautiful green grass and under these gorgeous blue skies. It is called the New Bern National Cemetery. Now, I hadn't seen a cemetery quite like this one before, other than Washington D.C. So, I couldn't help but take a picture.

Then we kept driving around and I stumbled onto another Cemetery. This one was called Cedar Grove. This Cemetery contains the graves of Confederate soldiers that died in the battle of New Bern, many early politicians, and 19th century gravestone markers. So, the artist in me couldn't resist taking pictures of these century old grave-markers. The road inside the cemetery was made up of Oyster Shells. So, don't go in there barefooted. It was a pretty creepy place. Honestly, it would have been the ultimate childhood dare to stay a night in that place. Old and creepy doesn't quite get it. So, I fired off a few images there too.

Then we found this cool puddle and Kim was willing to wade into it for a pretty cool picture.

So, now you know . . . I like old things. Even Cemeteries. I called those images "Fine Art" because usually it is the artist in us that likes how old grave markers look. So, if this kinda thing creeps you out, then I wouldn't scroll down any further. For those of you who like it . . . enjoy!
