This one was taken at the Brown Cemetery in Henrietta, New York, which was established exactly two hundred years ago in 1812.

I find this cemetery to be most depressing of the three we visited, because the tombstones are all broken and so badly weathered.

It was pretty hard to read the dates and names. The gravestones were heavily vandalized in the 1990s.

I'm sure there are some tombstones that are completely buried beneath the dirt.

It is always sad to see a vandalized and poorly preserved graveyard. Though in my opinion you were still able to capture a certain beauty of the place with your photography! I really like the lighting in this photo particularly.

Keep up the lovely work as usual! :)

Indeed. I never understand why people would go and disturb the dead. I mean, let them rest in peace. Of course, they wouldn't like it if someone else vandalized their own graves. :roll:

Thank you so very much! And of course, I will. ;)

I know right? It is so rude! It always irritates me when I see stuff like that, even when I was visiting the Paris Catacombs I saw that some people had written their name or initials on the skulls! I was horrified at how heartless some people could be!
Oh yes, they probably wouldn't which just brings out the hypocrisy of the whole thing. :/

You are very welcome! :)

It is. The best one can do is just teach others around us how that is not the right thing to do, and hope that awareness will lead to less horrible vandalization of places.

Indeed. That's exactly what we, and the others who believe in it, should do. :)
