Photography fun! in a cemetery...Trinity church NYC
How about some more photos from our NYC vaca?
I found these in my archives and thought I would share and document more of our summer vacation.
I have exclaimed before, I love taking pictures in Old cemeteries. Not sure why, and honestly, I just found this to be true this year...

You can read about that HERE.
Mike and I were kicked out of a market and strangely enough wound up in a cemetery.

This church was located..near Wall st. Trinity Church
est. 1696
 |
| Many people were just sitting on the benches, reading, sleeping, etc. It was very peaceful indeed |
 |
I love the green patina this took on. |
 |
| Trinity includes the graves and memorials of many historic figures such as Alexander Hamilton, William Bradford, and Robert Fulton. |
 |
| 1698 The first service is held in the new church |
I could have spent more time here, (not literally) however, my boys were not as thrilled with the scene as I.
Anyone else love cemetery photos?
Have a wonderful day!
See you on Monday for the newbie party.

These photos are gorgeous! What a beautiful area! I've only been to NYC once to visit my sister, and it was during Christmas, chaotic, and rainy the entire time! I'll have to go back one spring or fall so I can see all the gorgeous areas like this!
My husband and I love to wander thru old cemeteries. We find them whenever we travel to historic towns. Your photos are gorgeous. It is so very pretty.
Beautiful photos. Hubby and I did the same thing in Salem Massachusetts. There is also lots of old history there. I have never seen that area when we have been to NY, not sure how we missed it.
I love old churches and cemeteries, but I've never found the time to stop to visit and take pictures. Thanks for sharing these.
That was really interesting but I was more concerned why you and Mike were kicked out of the market...lol....had to go over and read that one again. Too funny.
Thanks for the tour and sharing your photos. I also like to visit the old cemeteries and churches.
You got kicked out of a market because ??? :-D
Yes, I love to look at old cemetaries. I once went to a famous one in Savannah. It felt a little creepy walking through there, but then I realized how beautiful it was right beside a river and spanish moss draped in the branches of the old oak trees. It was quite interesting to read the dates on the headstones. Such history!! It was also interesting to see how young people died back then. You didn't photograph any ghosts in there did you? Ha!
Debbie these are beautiful photos!! They would look gorgeous black and white and framed! Enjoy your weekend, Martina
Yes we like them too, I remember Boston having cool ones, right downtown and also New Palz, NY they dated back to the 1600's too, wish I could find those pictures! I just love the new header you have, it is making get into the fall mood!
Wait ... did you just say "cemetery" and "fun" in the same sentence ?! LOL. The pictures truly are beautiful, Debbie ... look at all of that history!
Debbie, these photos are so captivating!! Reminds me of the old cemeteries in New Orleans. The photos truly capture the history! Thanks for sharing; and I'm looking forward to the newbie party!
We did the same thing in Boston it was so neat, I saw one headstone that I'll never forget, her name was Mary Goose!!! from the 1600's.
Love your photos Deb, espeically the headstones and the green grass!
Debbie, what a very interesting place. I would love to venture up that way & if I do I'm pinning this so I can remember it! Such beautiful photos! Thanks for stopping by.
beautiful photos, I also find cemetary photos, pleasant,, I also like to do stone rubbings,, they look great framed,, mostly the olds ones,, they were so ornate,,
Wow your photos are gorgeous. I love the way those old headstones look.
I love, love,love old cemeteries! I have several pictures that we have taken over the years and they just fascinate me. This one that you found is gorgeous. uh...what did you get kicked out of the market for? Stealing photos? xo Diana
Debbie,
You are such a good photographer, you are a woman of many-many talents. Enjoy the weekend! XO ~Liz
I'm not sure I should admit it but I love cemeteries. Walking around looking at the headstones and wondering about the people and the lives they lived. Always gives me a peaceful feeling. Have a great Sunday! I miss your Newbie Party. :o(
I do too....great shots!
You pictures are great. Bring the camera, there some great cemeteries in Savannah. This church and cemetery are particularly peaceful looking.
My Daddy taught me to drive in a cementery in Atlanta. He said "Maybe you won't kill anybody here!".
I remember you and Mike getting kicked out of Fresh Market. Their loss.
Love the photos. I too have a facination with cemeteries, especially really old ones. Have you seen the tombstones that have a picture of the deceased on them? They are kind of creepy but interesting!!
Yep, gotta know why you got kicked out of the market! DO TELL! One of my favorite places in Salzburg, Austria was the cemetery. You can see it at the end of Sound of Music when they are hiding from the soldiers. It's a hauntingly beautiful place.
I love seeing these! I have more from Jekyll Island to share, too! So much to blog...I LOVE it! ♥
I LOVE your photos! all of them!
Our farmhouse built in 1848 was just a few acres from an old, and I mean OLD cemetary! My girls and I liked walking over there and reading the headstones, and trying to imagine what the people were like that were buried there...all from the 1800's.
Fun, but a little wierd, I guess.
Beautiful photos! I love looking at cemetery photos, although I've never taken any.
So glad to find someone else who's fascinated with cemeteries! Your photos are beautiful, Debbie!
I just love the old headstones. The new cemeteries with the flat headstones so they can mow are so uninteresting. Whereas the old ones are so lovely. I never thought of taking photos in them though. I will have to do that because your photos turned out so lovely.
Ok now your creeping me out!!! LOL, I actually walk in the old cemetery near my house, I love reading the inscriptions

I like reading the names and dates. It's hauntingly beautiful and a little sad, too. Beautiful pics! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Debbie, I love your photos they are really beautiful. I love going to our cemetary at home and walking through the old section and reading the stones. I once came upon a section that had many people that had died long ago on the same date. I went home and did alot of research and found that there was an explosion at a factory that had killed many people near a lake that I had never heard of. Not only was it interesting but I learned something about our town that happened over 100 years ago. I hope you have a great day!
Hugz,
Kim
I have a fascination for cemetery too! They are interesting, and your photos are just fantastic!
Yep love cemetaries and love your photos! So much history. I love reading the inscriptions on the headstones. All in all beautiful peaceful places imo. Vanna
I love beautiful photos in a cemetary!! We have some beautiful old ones downtown and I haven't taken my camera yet. We just love to wander them and see the dates. Beautiful photos!
I love to wander through old cemeteries- there is so much history and really a beauty and quiet that is not often found in other places.
