is that a door?
Yes I belive it is Joe.
Dang, I wonder if it fell. It looks awful heavy.
I love this shot.
great, new gallery! I know this is going to be awesome
Yay, new pictures!
A cemetery.Oh goody! I love cemeteries!
Always have.
Since earliest childhood they have been a place of peace, sunlight and repose for me.
Always have been.
I have spent so many hours in cemeteries,
alone and with others.
They are a place of nature and architecture, history and yes,spookiness.
Doesn't matter I'm a tachophile through and through.
Both my brothers like 'em too.
With all this love for them I might want to consider getting my own place in one for that day.
OK, Guitorman, which is it - tachophilia (obsessed with speed), taphephilia (sexual arousal from being buried alive), or taphophilia (love of things related to cemeteries)? ;-)
I hope it's the last one Lynne. I love old cemeteries, especially with the above ground markers. There is a grace and serinity to such places no matter what time of year.

We have about 10 within a five mile redius of our home, all more than 100+ years old, most, originally, were on private land and hold the remains of generations of the same families. Thank goodness our state started a program several years ago to locate and restore these cemeteries, and mark their locations on maps and with roadsigns. The smaller ones are my favorite.
It's a shame that such a beautiful piece of woodwork has been left to rot on the floor.
Hey, Polar. I agree. That door looks to be solid White Oak, probably 2 to 3 inches thick. I love woodworking and woodcarving, and love the stone work and metal work in this cemetery. Thanks, Mr. Motts.
What is that?
