Loc: St. Louis
Calvary/Bellefontaine cemeteries in St. Louis are situated side by side in north city. Both are old and famous with many famous folks laid to rest. Calvary is bigger but Bellefontaine holds the larger collection of people who really had more money than they knew what to do with. A drive through Bellefontaine's 14 miles of road is surreal, almost other worldly. I've stopped by twice now, once in the rain (no photos) and two days ago with a blue sky. I plan to go back. Here's some first snaps. The 2nd photo needs only a 1 word introduction: Budweiser! The forth photo is one of Bellefontaine's newer mausoleums -- $5.5 million with no name attached. The family wishes to remain anonymous. I thought the whole point of having the biggest tombstone was to show who'd made it to the top. Fuji X-T4 w/16-55mm

Very nice!! I look forward to more except for the last one. Not a fan of the modern architecture. I like the lion, tho!

The statue for David Francis is beautiful, both the in its construction and the lighting you captured!
