Nice shots!<br><br>
DD is currently doing a paper on the Salem witch trials; do you have anything to go with that?

 

[Xavier Dan Q]

Wow! Those, as usual, are fantastic!<br><br>
I've been to Salem a few times on my many visits but I never took any pictures approaching those.

 

[HighHeat]

You mean, like, umm... the photos of the witch trial memorial? <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

 

[Xavier Dan Q]

If I am not mistaken, he took pictures of a few of the "witches" tombstones.

Thank you!!<br><br>
Do you know who's buried in Grant's tomb? I always get stuck on that one.<br><br><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

Nice shots, but do I even wanna <i>know</i> how someone gets pressed to death? The cruelness of humans never ceases to amaze me.

No I don't.<br><br>
But I promise you I will launch a full scale investigation.

If I knew how long it was, I'd loan you my 12-inch ruler for the job.

 

[merigayle]

nice pictures, thanks for sharing.

Those pics have a very eerie beauty that I liked - the inscriptions about methods of death (pressing? yeesh!) just enhanced those particular pics even more<br><br>
Thanks for posting those great pics, <b>Heater</b>

Cemeteries are one of my favorite subjects. So photogenic! I have some shots I did in Paris and in some small towns in France. Reading the tombstones is fascinating. I like to find the ones that have my birthdate on them.<br><br>
My favorite shot was of the blackbird on the cross of the headstone. Great timing! The transition from b/w to color was interesting! Felt like I jumped in time!<br><br>
Thanks for sharing. I was just talking about you and your photography with Luckylily last night! I've SO gotta get a new camera!

 

[seattlegirl]

Wow. Some of them scared me a little! I especially like the one with the crow.

 

[Buxtehude]

Hurry up, slow computer! I wanna see!

Great photos, as usual.<br><br>
I love the one with the crow. I have a thing for crows. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

 

[maccabeth]

Yikes. That pressing link was, uh, heavy!

THat's what I thought!!!<br><br>
Chris, that is fantastic. The one with the raven is excellent. And the first one in the series. WOW.
