Same thought here Guitorman, and I'm Quaker.

Hey, who can we contact to fight to save this gracious lady from being lost?

Jude and Angela, are you talking about the "stingers" attached to the chandlers?

Nicole, mine too.

This photo would not have been as good in color.

A favor please? I am an artist who uses oil pastels (chalk w/ oil added). May i sketch this photo?

Beyond beauty. Graceful elegance, timeless dignity, she sets upon the land as if she had always been here and always will. Let it be so.

I hope it's the last one Lynne. I love old cemeteries, especially with the above ground markers. There is a grace and serinity to such places no matter what time of year.

We have about 10 within a five mile redius of our home, all more than 100+ years old, most, originally, were on private land and hold the remains of generations of the same families. Thank goodness our state started a program several years ago to locate and restore these cemeteries, and mark their locations on maps and with roadsigns. The smaller ones are my favorite.

I think your onto something, Levi.

Hey kids, it's not the horror, it's not even really the false history that we were given about these old wonderful places. It's what they are. a monuement of another time that has been preserved by a talent who had the forsight to memorialized them before the throw away American's could destroy them and make a profit. You be a good man. Motts.

High skies and reality, After so many years of following a great photographer, you just capture so much of the essence of your subjects. Noone has come close to you in the talent you have displayed. Fame is your final caption. What the hell does that mean?

This photo is so moving in it's lumninescence gloom. It takes this old man's breath away. Never can cease to believe the talent of Mott's. The best.

momto 4 a friend of mine told me about this and i was on ward A the same time you were there.it is crazy that there is this site.i thought that people would go into something like this.

Its for making vodka for the patients

People's perspectives are interesting, aren't they? I look at this picture and think "How nice. The children had toys to play with and someone that cared enough to do art projects with them." not "OMG, how could a parent lock their children up in such a place." If a child had a mental disorder, wouldn't it be more cruel and neglectful to NOT get them the help they need from professionals with the education and experience to help them versus a parent w/o the knowledge allowing them to deteriorate further?

I can see my self in the people trapped in there's shoes, looking out at the changing world, wothing touching distance, but still so far away
