Brompton Cemetery in London (October 16, 2023). I usually only post pictures of "wild" nature, and from time to time a few pictures from botanical gardens, but I find the more or less overgrown cemeteries of London very beautiful. By posting these pictures I mean no disrespect to the people resting here. In fact, I can think of nothing more beautiful than nature claiming back its creations.

Another example of the soul effigy on a white marble gravestone. Marble was plentiful in Vermont so many of the gravestones from this period were made from it.

Kaskaskia was founded in 1703 as a French settlement between the Kaskaskia and Mississippi Rivers. In the 1880s, the Mississippi River decided to change its course to the Kaskaskia River bed, causing the town to slowly fall into the river. Over 3,000 burials were relocated before the original settlement of Kaskaskia went down the river. Today, Kaskaskia is a small relocated settlement on an island on the Missouri side of the Mississippi River. Garrison Hill Cemetery, Fort Kaskaskia State Historic Site, Illinois. 2022 For more on Kaskaskia:

A very impressive and unique tomb built by Theoderic the Great in 520 CE. He was one of the Gothic conquerors of Ravenna, Italy. His body is no longer there. It was removed by the Byzantines who conquered the city from the Goths.
