AliDar said at 12:57 a.m. on Aug 12, 2007: Great photos, Sheila! I love exploring graveyards, especially old ones like this. My absolute favourite is that last shot, not only is it a great capture, but I wonder just who Ella A. Green was, enjoy the beauty of her tombstone, and feel saddened by the graves state of disrepair. Nice work! :)
Gulliphoto said at 1:27 a.m. on Aug 12, 2007: Way cool Sheila. Do you have any close ups of the scene with that rustic looking fence?? I like that one and would like to see more. I think it is picture 15 on here.
Pkeener said at 3:30 a.m. on Aug 12, 2007: it seem so old and neglected. think this is in the older part of town...great photos, Sheila! thank you. Wendy, Northern Louisiana is not the same as he southern part of the state. More like Texas. They aren't as low and the graves are not typically above ground.
MissPixie said at 6:40 a.m. on Aug 12, 2007: Nice shots! I love graveyards! So full of stories!
Love2laugh said at 10:22 a.m. on Aug 12, 2007: Alidar - I too wondered who Ella A. Green was. This one too made me think and that is why I placed it at the end. :)
Tim - I was in the car taking the pics so I did not get out and explore that rustic fence, though I wanted to. I was visiting someone there that day and we were driving around in the car. That part of the cemetary dropped down low and it had such deep pot holes in the road that I had to back my car all the way back up the hill. So I was more concerned at that point ... getting out.. hahahaha...
Pam - This was in the older part of the downtown by a Elvis Museum. It was sort of up behind that big Baptist church that over looks downtown.
Miss Pixie - I think they are so interesting. SOOOO many stories.....in a graveyard.

Bxrgirl27 said at 9:10 a.m. on Aug 13, 2007: Looks as if this is one very old cemetery. The stones all look so weathered and worn.
Farmhousephotos said at 10:23 a.m. on Aug 13, 2007: Great Photos of a very old cemetary.
Noe said at 11:37 a.m. on Aug 13, 2007: I love the photos of an old cementery, your shots are great Sheila =)
Love2laugh said at 5:50 p.m. on Aug 13, 2007: Laura - yes .. it appears to be a really old one. I wish I would have walked around and captured some pictures of other areas ... but it was hot ... we were in a car ... and on a deadline too. :)
Mark - Thanks ... I loved the one you recently did too. :)
Noe - Not bad for shooting from the car.. huh ?? hahahahaha...
Karsten said at 12:27 a.m. on Aug 14, 2007: great pics sheila!!! is this the grave of Ford a relative of THE Ford? (it´s henry isn´t it?) i like the atmosphere of graveyards...tranquility...
Love2laugh said at 5:40 a.m. on Aug 14, 2007: Karsten - no idea who that "Ford" is. :) Probably not related to anyone famous... but never know. :) I like to imagine what the people's lives might have been like though. Glad you liked my graveyard tabblo. :)
Floridamolle said at 12:11 p.m. on Aug 14, 2007: Great graveyard pictures, always interesting with old cemeteries, I can now clearly see that you are my sis, as I have several that kind of tabblos. Your bro, raised by fire ants
TeresaAnn said at 8:26 p.m. on Aug 14, 2007: Great tabblo of old cemetery photos.
Love2laugh said at 5:37 p.m. on Aug 15, 2007: Anders - Yes ... I knew some had done the Graveyard Tabblos ... so was scared I might not fit in if I didn't do one. :) Glad to know you claim me as a sister... even though... You ignore me. :)
Teresa - Thanks !!
Love2laugh said at 3:12 p.m. on Aug 19, 2007: Thanks Tammy.
Siagian said at 2:06 a.m. on Aug 22, 2007: Sheila, ive been wanting to do a cemetary set myself but never got to it...these are nice!
Love2laugh said at 7:39 p.m. on Aug 22, 2007: Thanks Woody. I had been tempted to go to where my husband is buried and look for old plots, but just haven't. This was a great place to take them though.
