:iconflowerheartplz: Thank you so much :hug: :+fav:
Great gallery , love your graveyard and statue work.
Your images are fantastic, and such a diverse collection too. it must be really difficult to decide what to photograph in those cemeteries, maybe I am lucky that I dont have so much choice or I would still be there.
Thank you and well, I do have tons and tons of images, so yes, it is hard to choose sometimes and yes, I spend hours there :)
You have quite a collection of photos from many different cemeteries.  I can’t say which one(s) are my favourites…  there are too many.  However, from the cemeteries you have visited, which are your top 3 for photography?
Purely photographically I'd say maybe Milan cimitero monumentale, Köln Melatenfriedhof, Dresden Tolkewitz, Wien Zentralfriedhof. Great sculpture there in large numbers. In Milan it's even hard to picture one sculpture without having ten others on the background, it's extreme.
Check out significantcemeteries.org for interesting tips all over Europe.
But those aren't necessarily the nicest ones when it comes to charm and atmosphere. Sometimes smaller placer, more deserted places, greener places, have just as much to offer.
You have a real interesting collection! I have a coworker of mine whose family makes stone memorials like these a bit more modern though lol. It's quite an art! :)
