Opened in 1850, Charleston’s Magnolia Cemetery is now home to an abundance of decaying monuments and fences. The shapes and colors make them all beautiful.
I doubt the original mourners could have envisioned the current state of their loved ones’ resting places in this older section of the cemetery. Even payment for perpetual care, which is marked on many of the plots, has not prevented the ravages of time.
What will it look like in another 150 years?
Truly captivating images.
Nature, in the end, reclaims all.

Thanks, Paz, glad that you liked them. Yes, no matter how foolishly man tries to change the course.

You’ve captured the feel there.
Thank you.
