On a cloudy day...

This picture was taken at Hilltop Cemetery in Independence in 2002. And, in case you were wondering (and I know you were), it does indeed sit on top of a hill. Visitors are treated to a spectacular sight when looking out over the area, no matter which direction they're facing.

This cemetery has a lot of graves decorated with a wide variety of things in addition to flowers -- windmills, fences, planted flowers, etc. You can view one such grave here.

You'll see more cemetery photos over time. My mother runs a cemetery in Portland and sometimes helps people with genealogy, so I see some nice cemeteries from time to time. I tag along as the 'official' photographer.
