17th Century Cemetery

Savannah, GA.
The following three photographs were taken at a 17'th and 18'th century cemetery in Savannah, GA. The cemetery contains many Civil War soldiers and numerous dignitaries that helped form one of the South's largest shipping ports. The picture's here are of broken headstones that have been bolted to the exterior brick wall that surrounds the cemetery. This continues around the entire cemetery exterior. You can see the various shapes and sizes and some of these are only the top section of a headstone. With that in mind, as you look across the cemetery grounds you can see countless headstones that are fractions of what they used to be. In some instances, the stones were broken right at the ground and only a sliver of marble or granite remains at the grave site. I specifically like the texture and color these stones create against the well aged brick wall
