Cemeteries - Part 1

On May 4 I visited the Metairie and Greenwood cemeteries. These are two of the cemeteries that are visible from the freeway as one enters New Orleans on the way from the airport. Interment in tombs is more common than burial in New Orleans because of the high water table, and many of the tombs are quite elaborate. I treated the trip as a photographic project - I took most of the pictures for their visual interest.



















This headstone looks a little to me like an old Packard grille.
