Hebrew Benevolent Cemetery by Paul Sager, on Flickr
Originally four independent cemeteries were established on land purchased by the Hebrew Benevolent Society and Congregation B’nai Sholom, the plots popularly known as "Jewish Graceland" form the oldest surviving Jewish Cemetery in Chicago, dating to 1851.
Hebrew Benevolent Cemetery
Graceland Cemetery, directly across the road from the Hebrew Benevolent Cemetery, is the style known as a “rural” or “garden cemetery.” Garden cemeteries incorporate naturalistic elements like trees, lakes and ponds, terraced lawns, and weaving paths and plots to create a park-like atmosphere.
Graceland Cemetery
Graceland Cemetery is the final resting place of many of Chicago's public figures, baseball and boxing greats, merchants and inventors, and other unique individuals.
Graceland Cemetery
This collection of images all come from an EOS 1v, the EF 35mm f/1.4L USM and fresh and expired rolls of film. The scanned JPEGs were processed further in Adobe Lightroom 6. Specific details are available from the Flickr host pages via the URL links that are the title of each image.

Great use of black and white. The snow enhances the quiet images.

Thank you yvonnenystrom, Dodie, Jim, Bob Dan! I sent off another 9 rolls for processing yesterday morning, going back to December, and I think, mostly all snow pictures. They'll probably be ready for posting by next winter ....
