Cemeteries that are very old are another fascination of mine. Some cemeteries I've been in actually tell a story on the head stones, by reading them, and the dates of death. It shows, that in one year lots of babies and children died (for instance), which leads one to believe that there was some kind of outbreak there. Or in old mining towns, hundreds of headstones of men that died on the same day. (A mine explosion).
There is this very old cemetery here in town, that I REALLY want to go in. Alas, the gates are always locked, and I don't seem to find a caretaker anywhere. Also, the graves are on an EXTREMELY steep hill, which means even if I could get in there, I couldn't walk up it, my heart won't let me. But by looking at it on the outside.....MAN! It would take some beautiful pics!
