\t\t\t\tI think the idea that walking through a cemetery is scary or should be, is created by the media. In reality, its usually quiet, tends to be damp, among the trees, or windy if there are few trees. I’ve photographed an old cemetery which was on the edge of a farm field, only one tree. It was very cold and windy. That was perfect atmosphere for a movie. But, they would have needed a story to make it creepy. The reality was just bitterly cold, not scary at all.<\/p>\n
I found this post, which included a quote from Loren Rhoads<\/a>, about travel and exploring cemeteries.<\/p>\n \u201cI look at them as open-air sculpture gardens,\u201d Rhoads said. \u201cThere are some places in the world where it\u2019s museum quality, and it\u2019s just there for anyone to visit and take a look.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Source: A Guide to the World’s Most Intriguing Cemeteries<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Loren has written,\u00a0“Wish you Were Here<\/a>” and “199 Cemeteries to See Before you Die<\/a>“. The first is about US cemeteries and the second about cemeteries around the world.\u00a0 Also, her site Cemetery Travel<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can also find her Cemetery Travels Notebook<\/a>, for your own exploring and notes, from her Etsy shop, CemeteryLibrarian.<\/p>\n
