Weekend Reflection: outdoors indoors at the columbarium

Seen recently at Mt. View Cemetery.  Feels peaceful to me.  For more reflections, visit James's meme.

  3. I use to always enjoy walking cemeteries. They are always peaceful and quiet. Now as I have grown older I don't go anymore. I start looking at the dates, do the math and the results are scary so I quit going.

    Before «Louis» moved to France, he lived near Mountain View, but never visited. He wishes that he had...

  6. What a great reflection shot, Carolyn! Your light and composition is perfect. [When standing on those escalators in my post, it's not that disorienting... I only noticed this walking past it because the sides are reflective metal.]

  10. I like the opposition between the life in the garden and the death in the columbarium... Nice work on the symbolic, here...

  12. Fascinating, I hadn't ever seen a place like this in the US before. Back in October when James (yes, James of Weekend Reflections) was in Paris we went walking in Père Lachaise Cemetery, and spent quite a little while in the large Columbarium there, looking closely at many of the plaques and their various decorations.

    Sometimes I have a dream "un mur de recueillement" face à la mer, I wrote this some hears ago (Imagine a columbarium here) :
