Albany Rural Cemetery
February 20, 2019
I want to apologize. Perhaps you came here to my blog to look at food, but all you keep seeing is mournful angels aged to a bright turquoise. And boy (sorrynotsorry) there will be a lot more of that in this post about Albany Rural Cemetery, a gorgeous sprawl of 467 acres in my state’s capital with some very striking monuments, including that of a United States president! I came, adding my footprints alongside the hoof prints in the snow, and took a lot of pictures. I hope that you will also appreciate the intense beauty of these grounds, one of my favorite historical rural cemeteries I’ve visited thus far.
Don’t let go.
The lap is the location of the most sincere surrender.
He is risen. He is not here.
There were many ornate Celtic crosses.
The grave of the 21st president Chester A. Arthur.
Spectacular wings
More patina
Albany Rural Cemetery would be the last of a list of of cemeteries I compiled months prior, a list that shaped the entirety of this recent road trip. But now it is time to go home.
