Mount Hope Cemetery
Rochester, New York

So the day was perfect for graving… potent white sky, a chill in the air, some time to kill. So I headed to the first municipal cemetery in the United States. Rochester, New York’s Mount Hope Cemetery, established in 1838. With two quick visits, I haven’t even scratched the surface of its 196 acres. So I’ll just have to return a few more times.

Some really pretty faces

And looks of sheer panic

This subtle expression drew me in

To whomever put these sunglasses on this monument, You’re awesome.

Pontificating

Glorious draping dress

Headless
