Hollywood Cemetery

One of my favorite places in Richmond VA is Hollywood Cemetery. I've already blogged about it but on my recent trip we went to a different part of it. This dog is guarding a child's grave.


People leave toys.


Apparently there was a fashion for fake tree stump tombstones in the 19th Century.






There was also a fashion for books.


This is a much more Classical approach.

As the stone wears away, certain features erode and others take on a bizarre prominence.




It's good for San Franciscans to experience real Autumn.
