A Matter of Perspective

Also from Oakland Cemetery.  

Life Among the Dead

Oakland Cemetery undertook a huge landscaping project last year. This is the result. The photos don't do it justice. It's gorgeous. 

The Lion Sleeps Tonight

This is the statue of the sleeping lion at historic Oakland Cemetery, taken as part of a photo series I'm working on: The Faces of Oakland Cemetery. Coming soon to a hallway near you. Or at least, near my guest bathroom. 

All are welcome. Sort of.

Another shot of the church: This is the entrance of an adjoining building, also abandoned. 

The Church of Rock

Your piece of pop culture history for the day: This is the church where R.E.M. formed in Athens back in 1980. 

Mom's Kitchen III

I love the roofline on this building. 

Mom's Kitchen II

Another shot of Mom's Kitchen. These chairs remind me of some my grandparents had on their front porch when I was a kid. 

Mom's Kitchen

While we were in Athens a couple of weeks ago, we drove by this funky old building. I made Cappy take me back before we left town, so I could take some pictures. 

Flowers from work

Some of my favorite co-workers sent me these beautiful flowers for my birthday.
