Joining @meoralis this week for #CemeterySunday.

Here's the #gravestone of Susanna Orne who died in 1777. From Old Burial Hill in #Marblehead, #Massachusetts.

I'm head over heels in love with the #macabre and dramatic #DeathsHead and #MementoMori motifs of #NewEngland cemeteries.

When we were in #Dublin in 2025, we visited the early Medieval monastic settlement at #Glendelough. A few ruins remain, including the tower seen here, surrounded by a cemetery with ancient carved #Stone markers.

A few preserved gravestones with Russian inscriptions near Kars (eastern Turkey). They probably belonged to members of the Molokan and/or Dukhobor sects, a few of whom still live in the province today. The area around Kars was occupied by Russia from 1878 to 1918. Tsarist Russia also settled Germans and Estonians there, among others.
