I love statuary. Figural statuary. I even have a cement statue of St. Francis holding a bird in my living room ~ I'll share a photo of him later. Figural pieces are beautiful to me. As I walked through this cemetery I was amazed at the beauty around me ~ the moss hanging in the trees and the aged patina on the monuments. You'd think a cemetery would be creepy but it wasn't. Majestic and quite full of art and so much history. . .

Girl...You take the most gorgeous picutres!! I have been by this cemetary several times, but haven't actually gone into it. We don't live too far away, so will have to have a look see one day.
Dawn! Those photos are GORGEOUS! I went to GA once for a tradeshow and just loved those weepy, droopy, mossy trees! They are so enchanting and lovely! Just like in Gone With the Wind! =)
Gorgeous photos Dawn. Lots of really great art and pieceful too.

Amaaaaazzzzing photos!!!!!!!!!!
If I had that place near, I'd consider it my studio and photograph the kids there! I love that arched piece.
Beautiful pictures !
I love Savannah!!!!! I lived in Charleston for 10 years and we went to Savannah on a regular basis. Awesome photos! Congratulations on your blog article:) You're famous! I miss the spanish moss on the trees. I miss the trees. Texas trees are so spread out here it's almost like not having trees. Love, Jmaie
What a beautiful place...and gorgeous photos!
Beautiful. I grew up in Jesup, Georgia till I was 18. Love the look of that moss hangin' down.

Oh Dawn I LOVE Savannah! How lucky your son lives there. My husband and I had all the arrangements made to spend 5 days there in the spring. Due to work we had to cancel. We have to get back there.
Best,
Kathy
What beautiful photos!!
I love cemetery art. My friends think I'm a little off bubble. It comes naturally to me. My Great Grandfather was a gravedigger around the year 1906. I also loved your photos because I love watching the movie "Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil" over and over.

Breathtaking! There are incredible works of art in old cemeteries. I enjoyed the book "Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil" and the movie. The draping of the moss enhances the beauty of that place. xxoo Heidi
