lovely photo's but what a lack of dis- respect we british seem to have towards our dead, what a disgrace to allow a cemetery to fall into such of a state of neglect such as this, graves toppling over, over grown vegetation , has seen here in this highgate cemetery video. i wish to be cremated up on my death, as i wouldnt want my grave to fall into such a state of neglect has seen here.
@madmart29 Still, it's more spectacular than the graves we have here in the Netherlands. Our municipal goverments are responsible for their maintenance and as a result, they are always peachy clean, almost squeaky. Furthermore, we don't have such an elaborate "tomb culture" compared with sites such as Pere Lachaise. Our graves usually consist of simple headstones. I'd love to have an elaborate tomb with a mourning angel on top, but since it's unaffordable, I'd say cremate as well.
@madmart29 vanity of vanities,,,,words wrote to show love and sum up a persons life...these words then fashioned and carved in stone,,,but the writer and carver of stone are too now dead,graves are for the living not the dead.and when the mourners are dead,the gravestone as served its purpose,only nature is everlastingly beautiful.
@annec1972 I intend to return in June, to make an entire tour of all the Magnificent Seven. I guess I shall have enough pics by then to make a few more films like this.
Beautiful haunting images wedded to Beethoven's music- Some of Chopin's or even Joh Field's noctures would be superb as background too. So much nice than rock songs like I've seen in other videos. We have some interesting cemeteries here in the US too, but only sporadically have I seen anything to match this enchantment. Thank you and Bravo, Michael

Absolutely stunning. Hope one day someone will make one with Albinoni's most famous Adagio. That would make my day.
