Veterans Day Flags At Evergreen Washelli Cemetery, Wa




Found my way to Washelli for massive amounts of flags on Veterans day.
enthralled by so many, the graves started reminding me of soldiers holding flags in the way the graves faded into the background like troops ready to march.

mt pleasant cemetery, queen anne , seattle, wa

The first four images are the four sides of the Nelsom Memorial










Mt Pleasant Cemetery,  I am sure I have driven past you before - assuming without much more the a quick glance to be a park- so obviously hidden from me- right there yet never seen.
Founded (like my present obsession Comet lodge cemetery)
by the Oddfellows, home to first Jewish cemetery. The only cemetery in Seattle still family owned.

Acacia Memorial Park & Funeral Home, Bothell, Wa 4/17/2010









 

a rainy day visit to the acacia cemetery. 
i wasn't expecting much but wow. what great design and well i guess it should be built by the masons in 1927. the font used throughout was beautiful art deco inspired. the flower preparation rooms were amazing perfectly spotless and prepared for applying the vases to the stones. i have never really seen such a place and we missed the lakeview mausoleum complete with Japanese garden! what?!
was a good place to do some HDR- it's illuminated almost entirely by natural light- 
would love to shoot more things here....
