Lafayette Cemetery

I know, it's a bit odd. But I love cemeteries. And something about the ones in New Orleans really appeal to me. Peaceful. Full of history. And, visually, there's literally something around every corner - broken tiles, rosaries dangling from rusted metal gates, dried, brown, lifeless flowers, dessicated from the heat and sun. All remembrances left by the living in honor of the dead. Would that we could all be remembered so well...and that someone, years from now, might be creatively inspired by our final resting place. Creepy? Yeah, OK, a little.
