An interesting gallery. At least it's not a complete jungle. Parts of Highgate Cemetery which I visited some years ago were virtually impenetrable. Our local Muni have been "maintaining" the town environs as a nature reserve for some years.

Thanks. This one is maintained by volunteers. They have some before and after photos showing how the Friends organisation has transformed it from an overgrown condition by clearing brambles etc. which formed a canopy. Now that light can get to the floor the flowers can grow. Some cover remains for the animals of course. Highgate Cemetery is much, much bigger than this and correspondingly difficult to maintain, I guess. Last time I was there, less than two years ago, it was in good condition. > On 27 Jun 2021, at 06:15, Alan C <cole@lantic.net> wrote: > > An interesting gallery. At least it's not a complete jungle.

Bob, another very nice set. I particularly like the last shot with the with the wildflowers. The headstones are similar to those in Woodland Cemetery, where I’ve done a lot of shooting in the last year and a half. It is maintained by a non-profit corporation and volunteers. It is almost full, and only about a dozen burials occur there annually now. Rick > On Jun 27, 2021, at 2:42 AM, Bob Pdml <PDMLBW@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks. This one is maintained by volunteers.
