Description
We visited the Thornrose Cemetery in Staunton, Virginia, today. The main entrance is a massive lychgate attached to the office. I got a few shots of the cemetery side of the lychgate, but the sun was in the wrong place, so you'll have to settle for a link to someone else's photograph if you want to see it.

Again ... the picture in the link is not mine, and I lay no claim to it. It is for your reference only. The photo credit contains a link to the photographer's bio page, if you're interested.
After driving through the gate, the road climbs between two hills, which are spanned by this bridge. It's a beautiful cemetery, founded in 1849.
I'll be posting a view of the bridge from the top as well. It's quite a structure!

Lovely shot Tara!!
Fine shot of this impressive stone structure. And I learned a new word (lychgate)...
great photo
outstanding beauty-shot ! fav
I agree with Claude, these stone structures are impressive. And the gnarled old trees seem just the right accompaniment for a cemetery.
It is a real beauty. It reminds me of somewhere I have been in England, but I cannot remember where.
awesome structure and very well camera skills!
A beautiful shot, Tara! I like yours better.... :-D
