Lake View Cemetery
Cleveland, Ohio

{It’s My Party πŸŽ‰, Part 3}

Of course there is a historic rural cemetery on my list! Home to the devastatingly wicked Haserot Angel, Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland has been on the very top of my list for quite some time. I’ve been to many cemeteries and this one has the most convincing sad faces, the most varied funerary art. You must explore its rolling hills by foot as beautiful headstones are tucked away. On this bright sunny day I snapped away, capturing the good, the bad and the ugly.

Now that is sadness.

Ah….

My purposes are broken off.

Trust me. You don’t want to see her face.

Or hers.

Egads!

Another butter face…

Things I am not interested in seeing in cemeteries: male forms that are not helpless in their sorrow (this guy is not)…

…Sons of God…

or pubescent androgeny.

Sad woman, take it slow

Male butter face

She was one of my favorites.

Behold the spectacular Haserot Angel–The Angel of Death Victorious. She is as fantastic as I had hoped she’d be.

Everything is just wonderful darling.

A photographer, no doubt

Very happy to be able to cross this one off my list.
