Dem bones: back to the Sacramento Historical City Cemetery
Is it wierd to keep going back to a cemetery just to shoot photos? This cemetery draws me back, and back. It’s large enough that your get shoot it all in one visit, and, for me, I seem to focus on different things all the time. This time it was the statues. They are beautiful, and are non-existent in today’s graveyards. They express the sadness of loss and hope for an afterlife.
This time I also found some masoleums worth shooting, some small grave stones and flowers. History is in this cemetery, so I guess I’ll keep going back until I’ve shot it all!
This statue got to me. You can sence the sadness. There is another similar one in this gallery.
Another one where you would suspect that a child was lost.
Here they are showing the loss of a loved one holding his pet.
This one made to look like a tree stump belongs to a woodsman.
Here’s the other statue that is similar to the first.
This one is dedicated to all veterans.
The grounds are just beginning to bloom.
Here’s the burial plot of a family. The large head stone belongs to the Patriarch .
Some of the many flowers.
The flowers make the grave stones beautiful.
Parents are buried here. The father has the larger stone. Would we do that today?
Here a family lost two sons. I’m hoping you can read the inscriptions on each.
Sometimes what is written says more than the stone’s design.
