Military Headstones

We’re back in the cemetery today. Well, I am, anyway.

5DSR5359This time I’m featuring the simple headstones found in the section of the cemetery devoted to military veterans.

5DSR5367This is often my favorite part of any cemetery. There’s something about the repeating lines of modest, identical headstones that I find compelling. St. Mary’s doesn’t have a very large section like this, so it’s nothing like taking photos at Arlington (which I’ve done) or even Ft. Snelling (which I haven’t) but then it’s a relatively tiny cemetery. You have to work a little bit harder to get something good, which just makes it all that more satisfying.

5DSR5370I’m pretty close to finished with my posts on St. Mary’s. I’ve got one, maybe two more left in me before I move on. Then you’re stuck listening to me drone on about the house stuff, which is occupying the majority of my waking hours these days. It might be awhile before I break out the camera and take any new photos. Enjoy the break.
