Rest in peace

Eagan was founded in 1860 and Trinity Lone Oak Cemetery has existed since 1880. It was a quiet, grey, snowy walk through their cemetery.

What would we the living do without such quiet cemeteries for our meditative walks.
Those are nice words on the Nachtigalls' cross.

I aggree with Dina - I like to get in the mood cemeteries brings to me. Sometimes.

Kate said...

I hope that you post some photos of this cemetery during the spring and summer, too.

Cemetery reminds us that we are mere mortals.

Ah, the good old days where cemeteries were filled with statuary. I prefer the old style to contemporary stones that lie flat on the ground.

I'm a cemetery tragic -- I don't want to be buried myself, but I love the history of the old cemeteries. I imagine your grey, snowy walk was quite eerie.
