Oakland Cemetary

On an autumn stroll through the historic graveyard with residents the like of Margaret Mitchell and Bobby Jones, the sometimes too obvious shows you there is so much life and expression where most people only see death. Statues come to life as one mourns yet another shows its innocence in the arms of St Anthony. Children are protected from skies that bear so little rain these days, and even the water lines are weary.

What an interesting way to communicate about water/drought/environmental issues. Nice collection. :)

Oakland Cemetary is one of Atlanta's wonderful treasures, and your photography does it justice.
