Greenfield Hill Cemetery Gravestones - Photograph

(Click on image to enlarge)

I took those photographs at Greenfield Hill Cemetery in Fairfield, CT this past week.

This cemetery has my favorite gravestone: a skull and cross bones. It was just beginning to rain while I was here, and I liked how the raindrops looked on the gravestone. They straightened all of the gravestones on the left side of the cemetery, so that they are all level now. It also looks like they cleaned them, because the white gravestones are more noticeable now.

Cemetery Sights - Photograph

(Click on image to enlarge)

I took these photographs at Greenfield Hill Cemetery in Fairfield, CT this past week.

This cemetery was the first place I saw a skull and cross bones gravestone, so I like to go back to photograph it on occasion. They were doing repairs here, and several gravestones were dug up and laying on the ground.

Note: I realized they made the gravestone straight and level, which is probably what they are doing for the repairs going on here. (Connecticut Winters followed by Spring thaws are rough on the ground over time, and some of these gravestones date back to the late 1700s.) You can see how the skull and cross bones gravestone used to be crooked in the photos here. Now it is straight.

Fall Leaves and Cemetery Gravestones - Photograph

(Click on image to enlarge)

This is 1 of 4 posts of photographs that I took at Greenfield Hill Cemetery in Fairfield, CT this past week.

Hallowe'en is one week from today! The Fall foliage is at or past peak here where I live.

At this time of year, the sound of walking through rustling leaves makes me think of childhood Trick or Treating! As a child, the anticipation was almost unbearable by now. I would have been too terrified to venture into a cemetery back then, even during the day, but as an adult, I find enjoyment and tranquility visiting them.

This skull and cross bones gravestone is my favorite one! Unfortunately lichen is covering part of the bone, which was clear back in May of 2011.

This gravestone is on the left side of the cemetery, relative to the center entrance.

With Hallowe'en only one week from today, I wanted to get some spooky looking gravestone photographs. These are skull and wings gravestones with varying amounts of lichen covering them. The first one looked particularly evil and spooky!
