My photographic inspiration is
a part of me that finds beauty and wonder in everyday life .. in my
neighborhood and in the city I now call home ~ Chicago. |

 | | Grave(n) images
It is no secret to those who know me well that I have an avid curiosity about cemeteries in general and unusual headstones and statuary in particular. I have had the opportunity to walk graveyards, sacred sites and cemeteries here and abroad to photograph and experience the serene stillness and unearthly solitude that they afford the visitor. I will add to this gallery as I continue to visit such sites. Featured: Normandy and Paris; Mississippi, Chicago, England, Quebec and County Clare Ireland.

A friend and I traveled to England in May 2011. We visited Bath and Greenwich as well as a journey to Isle of Wight ~ a tradition of including an island in our itinerary. We enjoyed wonderful weather and good food and found the tube to be a model for underground public transportation.
