While cemeteries are places of sadness, places to mourn and places to remember, they are also places of eerie beauty and mystery. Our favorite photos this month reflect those emotional layers that one can experience, whether it is to remember a lost friend and comrade, to speculate on the life of a victim lost to the Great Storm in Galveston in 1900, or to marvel at the beauty of a forgotten, crumbling graveyard remembered only by time. Thank you for sharing nearly 200 beautiful photos with us.
