I love graveyards. When I was in high school I used to skip school and go hang out in a local graveyard and smoke joints and read. I love the serenity.

@southernraven1969 lookin forward to seeing it soon ...i,ve always had a thing for graveyards ??! and some of the tales on the headstones can really bring you back to the distant past even if its just for a moment ...one of my favourite Headstones said ..gentle passerby spare a while come sit with me- as you are now ,so once was i ,and you shall be as it is with me but to live in the hearts we leave behind is Not to die .just ...love and be ...

Great Stuff! Apparently there was a huge amount of soldiers buried during the 1st world war. When the graves were exhumed there was a very large % (from memory i think it was something like 1 in 3) were buried alive. They could tell by the scratch marks on the inside of the coffins lids.

Anyway thanks, very informative. Love it..
