This is my 3rd post on my most viewed photos. I find it very enlightening to see what other people find interesting, and I also remind myself that more people would probably find more of my photos if I would keep up with labeling them.
The 7th most viewed cemetery photo in my Flickrstream is the breaking point I’ve been wondering about – up until this point, the grave markers have been famous because of what or who they commemorated, rather than for the markers themselves. And as I suspected, the first famous marker to get hits without necessarily marking the burial place of a particularly famous person is the Haserot Angel.
This statue has to be on of Lake View’s most famous, and it is only natural that my photo of it would receive a lot of views.
The next most viewed are back to famous people. First we have a monument to Rebecca Nurse, executed in Salem Witch Trials of 1692.
Next is the grave of famous suffragist Susan B. Anthony, a scan of a photo taken on an old cheap camera that isn’t really even readable.
Rounding out the top ten is the marker for Eliot Ness, whose ashes were scattered at Lake View Cemetery in 1997.
Hallo Ashley, Thanks for visiting my blog and my apologies for the long delay in moderating your comment. I have had terrible internet connection problems for ages and just have not been able to do anything on my blogs, visit many others or do much at all on the internet! I hope I am forgiven. 😉
I have found your blog extremely interesting and think some of the photos are wonderful. On my graveyard visits, I never seem to see any monuments like those you show so your blog is also fascinating!
Kind regards,
Christine (rootsresearcherrabbit)
