A very nice image of this cemetery. I enjoy walking around them, lots of history to be seen on those stones.
ReplyDeleteCemeteries are great places to wander around in. For ordinary peoples' graves and for those of the famous.
ReplyDeletevery nice photo!
ReplyDeleteJim, this is really a nice shot! Beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteYou are quite the photographer. Beautifully photos all the way 'round. You visited my site and I so appreciate you did as I post other people's photos but am not good at it myself...hence the writing. Thank You!
ReplyDeleteVery impressive image Jim, it certainly gives a sense of how big and how many graves there are here in this cemetery.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful day for a stroll in the cemetery.
ReplyDeleteA really nice shot of an amazing cemetery!
ReplyDeleteMy entry is here
Great post!! Boom & gary of The Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteThe picture itself, an adventure.
ReplyDeletePlease have a good Tuesday.
Great shot of the interesting cemetery.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great shot, Jim. I like the symmetry of the composition that re-enforces the symmetry of the Celtic Cross.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful celtic cross. Didn't know about that cemetery.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nick. I often take great care with framing, positioning and symmetry with my shots.
ReplyDeleteWonderful captures, Jim, of such a lovely cemetery! They are indeed great places to walk around, interesting things to learn! Hope you have a great week!

This is a very striking grave marker...its big and impressive and stands out in a crowd!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful cross.
ReplyDeleteexcellent perspective!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue sky too. The land value there must be huge.
ReplyDeleteLast week, I posted a grave of a difference, a very old Chinese grave.
ReplyDeleteHow'a the weather? Here, is so unpredicable, rain, shine rain shine. The laundry doesn't get dried.
Great shot Jim.
ReplyDeleteAnn, we had a very wet Summer but at the moment we're having some great sunny Autumn days.
ReplyDeleteCentered beautifully. Very effective.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully taken!
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence! We visited the family yesterday.
ReplyDeleteThe only in-laws I've ever gotten along with...
My world!
What a beautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot, Jim!
ReplyDeleteI love the celtic cross...
Greetings from Holland,
Anna :-))
An impressive cross and a nice view of the cemetery.
ReplyDeleteA cross set upon a cross, a very impressive memorial
ReplyDeleteLovely shot
ReplyDeleteGreat shot.
ReplyDeleteA stellar shot of a stunning Celtic cross, Jim. A beautiful day for meandering in such a large cememtery. I'm also curious about the name Vaucluse. It's the name of a mountain in southern France where my parents lived... :-)
ReplyDeleteFrancesca, the suburb was named after a historic estate here called Vaucluse House, which had been named after Vaucluse in the south of France.
ReplyDeleteAnother naming thing, Jim. I wondered who that Davidson was but then figured that The Lady Davidson Convalescent Hospital in Turramurra was probably named in honour of his wife. My uncle spent some time there undergoing rehabilitation.
ReplyDeleteSouth Head is a stunning setting for a cemetery. I must go out there again and top up my supply of unusual markers and inscriptions.
Thanks for contributing again.
Julie, the northern suburb of Davidson, beside Belrose and St Ives, is also named after him.
