Good place to take a walk. :)
I like how the lone tree is like 'nyaaa!' Yes, trees can speak. >_>

I didn't think the cemetery would be so cool-looking. I'm new to the city, and since I haven't seen very much of it, of course the cemetery has to be one of my early visits! ^^; Only the front part has actual 'tombs' and crosses. I wandered among those when the sun was sinking. Very ethereal, very lovely.

I adopted the grave of "Michael Angelo Martella" this week. He was born in 1982. He died last year. I know several of you born that year. :( I put a silk flower in his vase, because it was empty.

No critique please, I know I suck with panorama. ^_^

No critique needed, it's beautiful. Cemetaries can look really pretty, no matter how crazy it sounds.

You putting a silk flower in an empty vase made me a bit... sad. It's sad that it was empty =/ People should adopt graves more often, heh.

A lot of them were empty. :( For some reason, the 'older' ones had more flowers than the 'younger' ones. Is it because the tradition of honoring the dead is disappearing? Are peoples' taboos over death growing worse?

It might be just the opposite, though. People have learned to accept the death and move on with their lives, eventually forgetting the dead ones :|

I'm Hispanic, so we generally have no problem with death, but feel that visiting the grave is respectful. Kind of like why the Day of the Dead was brought, so we could celebrate their life. :)

You + panoramic views = good! This is a really good panorama. Don't think otherwise. =P
