You left me hanging at 'caves'. Come on now with the 'rest of the story'. I love old cemetaries. Like the read the headstones. Interesting.
Glad to hear Jessie is better.
The statuary you've shared with us is amazing. I look forward to your next installment.
There seems to be lot of sculpted art about. I hope it is well taken care of.
There's some great statues and monuments in there. Keep meaning to have a look round.
Interesting statues and monuments in that cemetary. Thanks for sharing.
Mac: Really cool captures, I shot a lot of statues in Europe.
I am in awe of old historic cemeteries, a photographer's dream! Beautiful shots of amazing art, imac. I would think the 'old souls' would be delighted that we find their home so fascinating!

Your photos of the statues are very impressive. I'm one of those who likes to walk through a cemetery, for the peace it and for the history.
As the old motown song goes .. "You keep me hanging on ..." Can't wait for the next installment. I especially like #3.
These old cimetaries have so much artwork ! today there is just a little cross on a grave, or you get incinerated.
Wonderful old cemetery and great photos as always.
