The old graveyards hold a poignant history within their grounds. As you cross walk through these hallowed spaces, you are met with an abundance of touching life stories etched into the very fabric of time, while the marks left on gravestones and crosses bear witness to the passage of time itself.
Each weathered inscription, each lichen-covered monument, and each carefully crafted symbol represents a life once lived, a journey once taken, and a story once told. These grounds whisper tales of joy and sorrow, of love and loss, and of the intricate tapestry of human existence.

Powerful words and images, Ritva. I particularly enjoyed your opening shot
❤️Thank you Debbie!
Great post in pictures and narrative. I also enjoy going through old cemeteries for the same reason you mentioned.
Yes, you can see some sad stories at them. Thank you!
Lovely images and narrative, Ritva.
I love your posts (and writing in general) too.
I enjoy walking through old cemeteries. So many stories of early death, accidents and viruses wiping out whole families.
Yes, and there’s a lot of history.
Aina mielenkiintoisia paikkoja vierailla, vaikka ei juuri aina omaisia siellä olisikaan. Kauniit kuvat.
Niinpä, samat surut eri vuosikymmeniltä
