Earlier this year, I spent a morning photographing at Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 1850, the cemetery is home to many famous Atlantans. It is another cemetery established as part of the rural or garden cemetery movement in the mid-1800s. So like other cemeteries of its era, Oakland is full of wonderful flowers, trees, and statuary on the graves.

These are a few of my photos from my visit to Oakland Cemetery

This is without a doubt the creepiest graveyard cherub I’ve seen!
