Final Resting Places : I've always found old graveyards to be very peaceful and comforting...granted, a bit different.  Yet, there is a certain level of serenity and (yes) admiration when looking at how some people chose to leave their mark.  I think I'd be happier knowing that some of my pictures outlasted me...

Tyrone Cemetery : This little country cemetery in SE Iowa is near the town of Talleyrand, which really doesn't exist any more and is not on most maps.  Some ancestors of mine are buried here but I would like visiting the cemetery even without that interest.  It sits serenely in the midst of the lush Iowa cornfields.  These photographs were taken in October 2008.

Columbia Cemetery : Columbia Cemetery, Columbia, Missouri is a beautiful and idyllic example of the 19th-century cemeteries that enrich our sense of history and continuity throughout the country.  It was established in 1820 and thus is about as old as the city of Columbia itself.  It is still possible to purchase lots in Columbia Cemetery although the majority of burials take place in the newer cemetery on the other side of town.  However I don't think one could find a more peaceful and dignified resting place than this.
