Cemetery Walking - Magnolia



Magnolia Cemetery, Charleston, S.C.

I am falling to sleep, kids, so just a couple pictures this evening. Busy days lately. These are from my favorite cemetery, Magnolia Cemetery on upper Meeting St. Well worth a walk with a camera. Take your bug spray since it is set along the marsh.

  3. Thanks!
    This is a great cemetery. I see one of the pictures I used is older since it includes the old bridges.

  4. Your pictures of Magnolia on your old blog made me want to go over there so I went last year to wander around and it was very cool.

  6. Cemeteries are fascinating...and all the statues, driving the hope of something more...

    Great shots!

  7. Your cemetery sculptures remind me of a movie we just watched - The Stone Angel - starring Ellen Burstyn. Very good if a little dark. O.K., very dark.

  8. This is great - I am about to write a piece on Charleston cemeteries in my blog and found this useful. I have a half remembered tale re Edgar Allan Poe meeting a girl at a cemetery in Charleston and am trying to find out more about this. thanx
