Voltaire - Graveyard Picnic - Photo Essay

I went to the U of I graveyard here in lovely Champaign-Urbana. That's right, we have a graveyard on campus. There are also photos of lightning/storm damage done to the graveyard. Set to the music of Voltaire. Enjoy.

I love the old graveyards. I wish to go to one in the middle of the night set next to a grave and read an Edgar Allen Poe novel under the light of the moon.

What did you have to do for this essay?

@AdamQuincy1989 Good luck. In my experiences, no matter how many intellectual and philosophical people I talk to online, they all always seem to live farther away than I can travel.

@thegrief13 I live in RI five minutes away from where Poe's girl lived. Original place still there. Occupant - old fat guy standing on steps in t-shirt and undies. lol. its up on benefit street. they still have the original street lamps that need to have candles put in and lit by hand. some small scattered old cemeteries about as well. If the tomb is crooked, a vampire lives there is the old lore. :D I sat in the middle of one one night under the street lamps and just wrote for like three hours

Amazing song, great pictures ^^

Personally I'm quite a fan of old fashioned graveyards - there's a beautiful one relatively close to where i live. I took a walk there once, reading the gravestones and paying my respects to the people under them; the place is huge compared to what I'm used to. Towards the back there's a spiral path going down into a lower section with more modern gravestones, and at the top not one of them is the same. The place is wonderful.
