Happy Easter

Wishing you a blessed and joyous holiday weekend.    

The above image is from the beautiful Wade Chapel in Lakeview Cemetery in Cleveland.  The beautiful chapel interior was designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany.  It is registered as a historic building.   You can read more about the chapel here:

Revisiting Lakeview Cemetery

I continued to explore the famous Lakeview Cemetery in Cleveland this past weekend.

I'm continuing to explore the beautiful monuments and details evident around the grounds.   The possibilities are nearly endless of beauty to capture with the camera:

My exploration of monuments has continued.  The latest is the very historic Lakeview Cemetery in Cleveland.   The two most famous people interned there are the former U.S. President James A Garfield and John D. Rockefeller.

The James A Garfield mausoleum is very beautiful, but falls outside of my continued exploration of monuments.   Someday in the future, I will photograph it, but because it has been photographed, by so many people, it doesn't have the same appeal as much lesser known monuments.

My inspiration both at Glendale Cemetery and Lakeview are the beautiful monuments and the sculptures that so capture my eye and camera.





The two images above represent what I really enjoy about many of the monuments. The grace, gentleness and beauty in the monuments really has captured my imagination.

Along with this beauty, I enjoy seeing the intimate beauty that is so special around the grounds.
