Colors for the Dead

So often i have let the autumn color season slip away without making nearly enough of a photographic effort. Well, i'm afraid, that has pretty much happened again this year, though i did get an opportunity to step out last Sunday on a beautiful balmy afternoon and sneak a couple of hours of shooting in. As we approach my favorite holiday of the year Spring Grove Cemetery seemed the perfect place for a photo walk. I simply love this cemetery. If you are not from Cincinnati you might find it strange that this is a favorite destination spot whenever friends from out of town come to visit, but Spring Grove is so much more than just a graveyard. It is also an arboretum and a National Historic Landmark, the second largest cemetery in the country. And it contains some of the most magnificent sculptural monuments and mausoleums anywhere.
Enjoy these autumn days…winter is coming…
