On our recent trip up north, we went to an old town full of victorian houses. It was about 6pm when we rolled into town, it was getting strangely chilly and foggy outside. Joe was familiar with this small town, where I was visiting for the first time. As we got to the far side of town, we ran into the Ferndale Cemetery.
The weird thing about this cemetery is that it's almost all cement. Built on a hill and overlooking the town, it was kind of spooky because we were the only ones in the place, and with the fog adding to the atmosphere....I got a little spooked.
This was the cemetery used in the movie Salem's Lot, with David Soul and James Mason. After spending about 20 minutes here, I was ready to get back on the road and get to our hotel. I just thought it was interesting and would be a good post for this week.
So, real quickly. This past week we had dinner at Joe's sisters house. After dinner we carved several pumpkins, 3-5 lbs. each. We put them on floating devices, lit them and sailed them in the swimming pool. You have to turn off the lights to get the full effect. It was our second annual pumpkin sail!
This shot is super blurry, but for reason, I love it.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN PEOPLE!!!!!
What a great cemetery; so different with all the cement, as you said. Love the fog! And the pumpkin float is very very cool.

Hey, did you photo shop those dear into the picture? How lucky was that?

No photo shop we came around a turn in the cemetary road and there they were. the cemetaries up there are very small but real give you the spooks if visited at the right time. That was fun and creepy Paul glad we went there!!! Happy Hallows Eve everyone!!

So cool. And you've given me a good idea for a Halloween post, because I have some cemetery pictures I've been wanting to share.
Love the pumpkins. Halloween is just a fun holiday, all around.

You're right! I can't seem to find any marble and granite stones in that cemetery. It's an all-cement cemetery. That rhymed! Hehe. Those are, indeed, beautiful shots! The fog, the weather - everything was just perfect for setting the right mood. =)
