This here is one of the many massive structures in Hillside Cemetary.

Hillside is a beautiful cemetary located in Middletown, NY. It is a work of art. It was designed by the same man who designed Central Park in NYC.
I love walking through cemetaries. They're usually perfect for photos and some quiet thinking time.

Here are more links for information and other photos from the city website:

The cemetery as a park, the 'modern' cemetery design made popular in the mid to late 1800s, with ornate memorial stonework, is a beautiful sight. This photo looks similar to Cedar Hill, in Hartford, CT, with the trees and ornamental bushes on sculpted hills. The city's wealthiest bought the choicest sections (hilltops) and designed the most ornate memorial pieces. This one is no exception. Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine

Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick. Henri Cartier-Bresson
