Brown Bread: Cockney rhyming slang for DEAD
So the heading of this explains the name of my photoblog.
The question is WHY?
Truth is I cannot truly answer.
What I am trying to bring you here is a collection of snaps from cemeteries & assorted burial grounds from wherever I happen to be, and that take my fancy.
I feel they will be just a bit to repetitive to post onto my photoblog, which I hope you will look at, if you haven't come across it before.
Hence me trying to start up this sort of sub-section anoraky type one here!
But why cemeteries? Good question, which I can't really answer. But I do feel drawn to the places, I find it very hard not to walk through the gates of one, or a churchyard, if I'm walking past, no matter where I am. I don't expect some of my regulars to look in, but if you like that sort of thing, it may be worth popping back.
I may expand more at a later date, but I'm not very technically minded, & have to rely on other people to help me with this site, as I do not have a computer myself.

So now go back to the main site for the photographs....

I'm the same way. I love to check out cemetaries, the older and creepier, the better. I went to a cemetary in Leadville, Colorado once. It was an old settler's cemetary and there were a lot of wooden headstones, unmarked graves, depressions in the ground where you can tell someone had been buried but their coffin had collapsed...and there were a lot of children's graves there as well. To me, it illustrated the challenge of exploring the west and braving the winters in the mountains.
In Kansas City, there is a very busy intersection (Johnson Drive and Nall). If you didn't know it was there, you'd never notice it...but there is a corner of that intersection that is preserved. There is a double grave marker there where some pioneers had been buried. It's from the days of covered wagons. It might actually be on the old Oregon trail. Many of those covered wagon trails came through what is now Kansas City.
Fascinating.
