During the kids school vacation we spent a day in town (Portsmouth new Hampshire about 2 hours north of where we live). Walking around this very quaint town rich with history…
(I know to most of our TL members 1736 seems young=) )
While walking around and looking for a way down to the water (which we NEVER found) we came across St. John’s cemetery.
What caught my eye were the tombs that where above the ground… It was hard to get this shot as the traffic was very busy coming and going around this corner… I had to crop the back of a truck to the right and a traffic sign to the left.. also cloned our some electrical wires…
I planned on just grabbing some info off the net and then to post on TL…. Well for the last hour I have been surfing the web learning so much information about this cemerary!
Got sort of lost… lol
Below taking from www.stjohnsnh.org
There are about 100 marked graves in this yard. It is seldom used now and only by expressed permission of the vestry. There are 10 underground vaults which are accessible from the streets. Six are located on Bow st. and 4 on Chapel st. . Many prominent persons of the Colonial period were buried in these vaults, such as Royal Governor Wentworth Benning (1741-1766), Reverend Arthur Browne the first rector of Queen's Chapel (1736-1773). Reverend Browne's residence is still standing on Court Street near Pleasant, identifiable by an historical marker. |

Good composition. Good sharpness and details.
Would it have been better to clone out the rock bottom left as well?
Nice job on the cloning. Can't see it.

Hi Tricia,
Interesting note.
Indeed a strange thing to bury the people above the ground. :-)
I have the feeling that you zoomed in too much. I can't see that the building is a chapel. It could have been a school or so. But oke, the subject were/are the tombstones......
Technically the image is oke.
greetings,
Joop
Hi Tricia:
excellent sharp details on these textured brick & stones, I like your framing...
The composition is outstanding here:)

Good photo of this unusual cemetery! Nicely done, I can't tell where you did the cloning! Don
