I was in serious need of some time with my camera and nature. I decided to go take a nice stroll through the Mt. Auburn cemetery and take in the fall scenes.
It's so interesting, to me, to find peace and beauty in a cemetery, where each stone tells a story.
As I wandered around the monuments and stones, I suddenly thought about how these individuals last resting place has become an amazing retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The hour or so of time I spent in the cemetery was quite good for my photographers soul. After a crazy week, this gorgeous place allowed me to step back, relax, and just be with nature, my camera and my thoughts.
I left, as the sun set, in a place where I felt grounded and relaxed. Such a beautiful place right in my neck of the woods.

Gorgeous shots! So jelly of all the New England colours!
There is always something so sad about tombstones but your shots are glorious and beautiful.
Tabor, enjoyed your wanderings through the cemetery. My mother always wanted me to go the cemetery with her to talk about all the relatives from the past, etc. I've decided I'm not going there...spread to the winds!
So sorry...Tamar - typed it too fast.
wow, very nice photos and cool place to visit.
You've captured fall so beautifully!!
Yes, indeed, wonderful place full of beauty! Excellent framing with beautiful color! Beautiful photos with autumn atmosphere!
Wow! you sure are a creative soul! Great pictures!!! I do agree that cemeteries are peaceful but it wouldn´t have occurred to me to go there for a quite time! Good for you!

Thanks for sharing your walk!
Yup. Love this place - soul soothing. Love the shots you got!
Such creative and beautiful angles and perspectives to these. I love a good walk through a cemetery - especially old-old ones.
Beautiful captures! Peace and tranquility is not always easy to find today in town and city. That's what I am thankful for, now living in the mountains.
I love your sunny starbursts.
You captured the peace and tranquility of this place perfectly

Wow! These are just gorgeous. I really love the one with the sun flare!
good grief these photos are stunning!
These are lovely. Many people find cemeteries to be creepy or depressing but I'm with you in they can be peaceful and calming.
You really found some beauty here. I'm sure the solitude was good for the soul. I love those times to get away and just think.
Beautiful images. I have found the cemeteries in Wisconsin very beautiful too, especially the ones in the farming communities surrounded by the corn and soybean fields.
