starielLast night when I was out with the yarners (including ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
theotheramanda who was in town!) I forced grateblue2 to take pictures of the Granary Burial Ground downtown. Now with new and improved pictures!
Like I said, it's very historical:
And Paul Revere is there:
Unfortunately I don't have the pictures from her yet, so I'll have to recycle this old one:
I'm a fan of graveyards. It's not just a Boston thing,chrssybr and I once walked up a huge hill on perhaps the hottest day of summer to visit the graveyard we could see from her dorm window at UW. We're clearly nuts.
Well, the little affection I had for graveyards really had a chance to blossom here in Boston. The graveyards here are just so much... cooler! Older, more historical, and honestly who can resist those old-style winged skulls on gravestones?
The Boston area has an abundance of really old gravestones which are endlessly fascinating to me. And a great many of them are on the Freedom Trail. I keep reminding myself that I need to get some more gravestone pictures before I leave Boston and return to the modern gravestones of the PacNW. Not half as exciting.
