Description
This photo is of the east wall of Colonial Cemetery, Savannah, Georgia. The town was founded in 1733. This is its oldest existing cemetery and used for 103 years between 1750-1853. There were 12,000 burials recorded here but only 700 markers exist today. The headstones mounted on the wall were knocked down over time and since no one knew where their actual plot was they were mounted on the wall years ago for preservation.
Best when zoomed.

I find cemeteries fascinating. Sometimes the stones tell stories. A great shot of 'the wall'. Its nice that they cared enough to preserve the markers. Too bad about the grave locations. Sometimes cemeteries keep maps of the locations.
Superb capture Bill. God bless.
Most interesting. In our local one, if something falls or is vandalised the council don't step in unless the relatives ask. Something to do with Health and Safety!
Such a great idea to do that. It is even decorative. Excellent shot :)
Somber but beautiful view
I find the writing on the stones fascinating. Lovely B/W photo.
Great capture and narrative Bill! a very somber capture!
Impressive especially in black and white Bill!
Nice b&w conversion! I like how this turned out. That was such an interesting thing to see. I remember it being quite warm that day!
Very nice capture Bill.
I like the monochrome look very much. It works very well with this kind of photos.
I think the black & white adds a moody and historic feel to this photo, Bill. Superbly composed, and wonderful tonal quality.
Quite interesting story.
very interesting cemetery wall, well done with the DOF along the wall, perfect in b/w I like this kind of photo!
Looks brilliant in b&w...
