somehow i end up there

New Orleans, LA
Glasgow Necropolis

I almost never plan to visit cemeteries when I travel, but I always seem to end up there. Besides these two, there was a wind-blown plot on a cliff overlooking the Pacific ocean in Northern California and a snowy, wooded bit of ground outside Chicago. None in Dallas, for some reason. There was another one somewhere in the west of Scotland, on a much sunnier day. Maybe I'll find those pictures tomorrow, although I think that I'd best stop with these soon.

Superb photography.

When friends visited me in Glasgow, the Necropolis was always a popular stop on my unofficial tour. Even people who aren't frequent cemetary tourists (like me) found it to be a remarkably powerful place. I used to walk there by myself and spend hours just looking off the top of the hill toward the cathedral or the other way, over the smokestacks. Thanks for reminding me.
