CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge

[KiowaEagle_imp]

I stopped by St Peters in Chester Springs on my way home. I hadn’t been there in years. A lot of my mother’s Pennsylvania German ancestors are buried there going back to the 1700’s. I couldn’t find any of them this time, many of the stones are so old and weathered you don’t have a chance of reading them unless you wet them down. I did stumble across this one though. It had a flag so he was a veteran. I wonder what war though, he would have been a bit old for the Revolutionary War and others were marked as such.

Of course I also got the glamour shots. That’s what this is all about, isn’t it?

Nicely done KiowaEagle.

Very cool Kiowa Eagle!

Wow, someone who made it to 65 in 1795 did pretty well!

Agreed. Uber Elder.

And yes, one doesn't see many [legible] headstones set in the 1700s in North America.

Joint entry from Inhousebob, The A-man, Misterprofessionality, and Cytocatlady. On our 200 mile loop around the WNC mountains today. We found this dead people garden during a wrong turn outside Hot Springs.

Black gloss still appears strong on the gear box.

Nice snap MMC on a backdrop of a graveyard of leaves.

Laraghbryan is the site of an old monastic settlement, cemetery and ruined church about 10 minutes from my work. The entrance was just too narrow to get the bike through. There were people tending graves so I'm not sure I would of driven in anyway

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

Ooooo, Tev.

Very nice submission.

How old is that headstone (grave?) inside the ruins?

 

[Nachodaddy]

Great photos, Tev. I love the ruins and the old graves. In England, every village had at least one church and every church had an old cemetery. In Japan, there were also many beautiful cemeteries, but here I am finding it hard to find the cemeteries. A few years ago, when doing my family history research, I found old family cemeteries in Kansas, Maryland and Illinois and some of them were even falling into ruin. Maybe my next ride will be to search out a good burial ground.

 

[peterbaron]

^+1^ indeed it is.
I love the ruins and castles as well

 

[the Ferret]

Very cool Tev!

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

I wonder how many more modern building structures have a tombstone inside?

 

[emptysea]

Around here, there are a lot of Taverns that have Tombstones inside. (this might be a regional reference and perhaps not a funny one at that)
