Adventure Pictures!

I like to take little adventures. I’ve found three new cemeteries on the past few and was smart enough to have my camera with me. Cemeteries are heavenly for me. It’s peaceful, it’s mysterious, it’s a chunk of history that may never be fully explored. Living in the South is the perfect backdrop for graveyards. Old, worn graves, broken stones, uneven ground, broken marble tops, oak trees covered in moss, hidden plots on dirt roads. This place is like a zombie movie on a stick.

I won’t bore you with all the shots I have because they are quite extensive and I’m enthralled by them, so I’m really not the best judge. This is the best adventure I’ve had recently to a little cemetery called Jennings Bluff I found down a very long dirt road. I hope you get even a wisp of the feeling I get when I step foot near such beautiful graves.

Oh, it was gorgeous. It was a beautiful fall day- perfect. Overcast, mid-afternoon, slightly cool, utterly silent save for the forest and me crunching leaves underfoot because it was so far out. It was small, with soft earth that sunk in as you walked, which also makes for interesting and nearly lost graves. They sink, they tilt, they start to break and turn over. Magical.
