Description
One of the things I try to do when I travel to a new destination is visit a local historic cemetery. I feel there is a great deal to learn about the culture, traditions and history of a place from the wonderful old graveyards usually found on the outskirts of town, it's always worth that tram or trolley ride to see these outdoor art galleries often filled with the most amazing sculptures and skilled craftsmanship rarely seen in modern society . I have a few favourites and a few more still on my list that I hope to get the opportunity to visit one day but Monumental Cemetery in Milan, Italy I think will always be top of my list for it's absolutely breathtaking beauty. A peaceful oasis of hushed calm in an otherwise frantic city of chaos, crowds and noise, it was a lovely way to spend a quiet afternoon in late Autumn, only occasionally passing another person also gazing in awe at the wonders and hidden gems. If you're ever in Milan, please don't miss it. I hand blended a little texture with my original photograph to compliment the old world feel of this classic European Cemetery scene.
