I think cemetaries are great.
Rob and I often stop at them, just to say hi, and to read the headstones.
I try to make it to the ones off to the side, where many people may just overlook or not visit often.
I have no intention of every "resting" in a cemetary, but find them very fainating places.
I'd buy a property beside in a heartbeat..and especially if there was an old one on a property. How cool that would be.
Actually same here Kath until a few yrs back anyway.
We had one behind one of the family farms , beautiful wild setting , clift in the background , huge trees. I always wanted to paint it .
Until one day I stopped in going past as I often did and and a young guy from in at the town was sitting out on one of the graves .
I vaguely knew him and gave a sort of nod , he nodded back and I left without going in that day.
A few days later I found out he was killed a week earlier and was buried there.
I don't feel quite the same about them now and never went back to paint it.
PS , while I'm in the area I just thought I'd mention. The above is what I thought I saw but in all honesty , to this day how can you really be sure. I've thought of that in many ways since , maybe it was just a premonition , subconscious playing tricks on you or some mind thing , I wasn't going back to check though .
Cheers
