i remember i once found a site with pics of dead bodies on gothic.ru, people who have commited suicide. just that the site was removed i think. but that has nothing to do with the graveyards i guess

I agree on the cemetery part, being interesting.

And when it comes to the suicide pics....

In my neighbourhood there lives a man. He tried to blow off his head with a shotgun a couple of years ago. But he failed, it didnt kill him. He kind of missed, and instead af blowing out his brains, he just shot off his face.

Its kinda scary meeting a pissed drunk old man without a face, (kinda like mr punch) in the middle of the night.

he should be really an idiot. to miss from a couple of centimetres

The shotgun face thing is more common than you think, I know of a woman who did that, and it isn't that you miss, its when you pull the trigger down the gun kicks up thus away from your face and you don't get the leathality.

I love cemetaries.
I have this wild interset in seeing who died and how long they lived, what their age was when they died.
Though I hate to see gravestones for babies or small children- that makes me sad.

Cemetaries simply are...

I like them in the winter in the old village near where I grew up when they're covered in snow next to an old church

It's a picture on life 400 years ago.

Isn't it odd how people hair and nails appears to still grow after they are dead. Some people say there was some more oomph. Some people say they just got smaller, but the bones and stuff stayed the same size. It takes longer to decay.

One of my favorite graveyards is not really a graveyard but a burial ground of sorts. It belongs to the Dilmuns, a society long dead, the burial mounds found within are over 4000 years old, a couple of them have been excavated. They are absolutely beautiful.

oh i love graveyards, i like to make rubbings of the tomb stones.
i was gonna have my birthday "party" at one but my friends parents thought it was morbid. i think that it would have been fun we wouldn't have disturbed the place just a few people walking through and looking at the tomb stones. I think that some people have the most interesting things written to be remembered by.

i love really old cemetaries. but we don't have REALLY old cemetaries around here. the oldest graves are maybe 100-150 years old. i used a local cemetary as the subject of my painting board last year. i took a huge stack of photographs which my mother hated being superstitous and all. although she's generally not a spiritual person. i think she just thought i was morbid. there's a lot of compositional potential in a cemetary, and all sorts of symbolism you can play around with. it's a great subject. i was suprised how understanding the school was, since i went to a catholic school. sure they thought it a bit morbid but they let me go ahead with it. my friend used the same cemetary for her photography board. it was cool how we could compare our boards on the same subject.

Well usually cemetaries are not my thing. For one reason is cause i have a very creative emagination. I'll look at a grave then i'll emagin hands popping out and dragging me in. Never being able to get out. I don't know why i fear cemetaries. No body made fun of me about them. Or even tried to scare me. Something about them just tracks me off. Maybe i should give them a chance. What do you say?

My girlfriend and I will go into the cemetary near her house and just sit and look at the stars and the view from it. Its very peaceful, though some of my friends think its morbid.

I like to visit the cemetary in my town and lay on the tombstone, and pretend I am the deceased and when someone comes by yell at them for disturbing me...

that or make gravel angels, now that's fun.

Darkstorm and I are planning to get married in a cemetary...

I have several albums of Cemetary pictures from various states and countries that I've been to.. I always have to get some cool photos.. I'll try and make my scanner work and post a few.. probably in Graphical though.

i love cemetaries i don't like most people and i find it relaxing to be by meyself and think and i sometimes go to cemtaries to do that but there is a skate park right by ours so i find it hard to stay there for to long. My fav. cemeatries are the ones with like 1000 year old graves where you can almost hear the deads whispers! *sigh* that is the greatest.

So do I. It's one of my favourite subjects when I take photographs. I have some lovely pictures.

Although, I'll need to use the darkroom to develop my latest.

i too have a love for old cemetaries. i saw a couple REALLY old ones in salem, mass. that was cool because they were a little reminder in a peaceful place of how awful life was for many of them. i like to sit in this one cemetary right near my house and sit near a tombstone and write in my journal or just relax.
