This photowalk actually started in Queens at Calvery Cemetary. If you've ever driven south on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE), and looked toward the city from the bridge, you've seen this cemetary. You can actually see the city skyline form the cemetary grounds. Most of the graves and crypts are from the late 1800's to early 1940's & 50's.
The shot below is of a set of crypt doors. You can just make out the stained glass window within the crypt.
This grave marker below was the most distinctive one we saw at the cemetary.
The shot below was taken through the bars on the door of a crypt. The detail in the stained glass is amazing. Please click on the pic to see a larger version, the detail on the face, neck, and heart are amazing.
When we finally did make it into the city, it was almost noon. I grabbed some candid shots while there. The shot below was off a side street near Washington Square Park.
Wow. Only you would see the beauty in these things!
