They enhance eerie feelings and suggest some ghostly images to show up. I don't want to stroll in there, or i will always get goosebumps!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848957958059476177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-25870208745394096872012-10-06T11:02:33.622-05:002012-10-06T11:02:33.622-05:00It is another beautiful day here in GA.

Seems that in those days the honor given to the deceased was way more than it is today. With the changes, made due to the times, seems like we don't have the time or finances to give such honor.<br />A garden for sure.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167298790872032154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-49501169423416494992012-10-04T10:23:53.046-05:002012-10-04T10:23:53.046-05:00As lovely as your photos are, even they do not tru...As lovely as your photos are, even they do not truly do justice to this place. It was almost magical the way the sun filtered through the moss draped trees and reflected off the marble and granite stautes and monuments. I am so glad you took us to Bonaventure. The veteran plot was really special to me, and I don't know how closely you looked, but there were at least 2 recent burials there,Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06750545433105483658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-4029459322280398672012-10-04T09:35:06.685-05:002012-10-04T09:35:06.685-05:00A garden and a cemetery.

It is awesome. Old cemetaries have so many stories and history and are very engaging.
