The #WooldridgeMonuments, #MaplewoodCemetery, #Mayfield #Kentucky Shot on #Leica #Q2M #monochrome #blackandwhite #cemetery. An eccentric horseman, Colonel #Wooldridge had his entire extended family sculpted in sandstone (including dogs) by at least three different sculptors. His #whitemarble statue was carved in Italy. He also is sculpted on his fave horse. He's the only one actually entombed here, but death dates were later added on some of the family statues.
