then and now

I visited the Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta for the first time and found wonderful mouments and stonework, as well as major damage still remaining from the April tornado. I will return for another visit when cooler weather arrives this fall.


I liked this view, with part of the Atlanta skyline (the King and Queen buildings) in the background.






And this beautiful statue, broken by a fallen tree, seemed to be sleeping:

"I like to come to the cemetery to listen to the dead people talk."
"Dead people can't talk."
"They do, they do. But they can only say one word: live."

Dialogue from "Orpheus Descending" Tennessee Williams
