Wilkes-Barre Cemetery

Architect1776 Loc: In my mind
 
A mausoleum and chapel.
I found it interesting looking at the mausoleums in the cemetery and the narcissism involved in the creation of them.
I would bet that no one visits them nor does anyone even know who the creators are or care outside of some curiosity. Monuments to themselves yet forgotten in a few generations.
But they are fun to look at and try to envision the owners and imagine what they did.
That said I also look at poor little stones and markers and also imagine what their lives were possibly like.
R7 and EF 24-105mm and control ring adapter.

At least they are truly famous and studied over 3,000 years later.

Very nice. Cemeteries are interesting places to take some great photos, as you did.
