For this TT post, I decided to break away from my usual research indulgence and consider the whole "context" of one cemetery.
This is a view of Flinders Cemetery on the southern end of the Mornington Peninsula..
Each time I have wandered here, I have felt the trees add a distinct "Australian painting" presence.
The trees seem like grand mothers, gently nurturing the souls who rest here.
A soft, quiet place
Where the white boughs of Nature
Are the earth angels

Gemma, what GLORIOUS photos. Those trees are so beautiful and I love you naming them earth angels.
The trees are almost overpowering! It feels very much like a park with the odd stone monument poking up every now and then.
Such a baeautiful place!

Yes, Gemma, good to focus on the landscape for a change, although I do adore the history that you unearth ... so to speak.
More and more of the cemeteries through which I meander, have this idyllic rural framing to them, with sushing branches, and tumbling water and the call of Butcher Birds.
Wonderful, totally Australian, post.
It seems to be a very old cimetary and the trees are really beautiful !
yes, gorgeous trees!
just last night i was looking at some pics of cemeteries that also included trees but then decided on the flower-grave... perhaps next time!
you are right that they add something to the place....
