And they are visiting a cemetery in New Orleans? Are they nuts? I would tell them to get a life, but it looks like theirs is pretty much spent. The last thing I would want to do at that age would be to visit a cemetery.. no matter how famous it may be.

none of my business where people go, but I avoid cemeteries at all costs.

A regional one, near where I live, can be a great place to shoot if you like wildlife and botanical subjects.

I do like old local cemeteries - A nearby one has graves back to the 1600's. Also, old unkempt ones with long forgotten but sometimes important people interred. A photographic opportunity to be discovered. Also the Military ones. Row upon row of carefully aligned stones representing those who've paid for what we have now, whether they are over there or here as part of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. The dead can still speak here and they can send a powerful message.
I don't like showpiece 'Gardens of Rest' etc.

Tom, they look about the same age as myself and we visit our family members that are at a local cemetery. My parents ar in Stuart so I do not have a chance to visit them but I do think of them daily.
I apologize if I got the wrong impression from your post. We just had another Sister pass in the last week so I am sensitive to this subject.

No problem. I was just making jest in that these people looked so old that perhaps they were dying to get in. Lol.

Oh, no. No problem with that. I was just kidding around. There are some pretty cool cemeteries all over the world that people should visit no matter how old one is.

I agree. some cemeteries can send chills up ones' spine with the history contained within them.
Why were you there? - Dave
I visited one of the large cemeteries in New Orleans and found it fascinating. I’d go back.
You misunderstand. The one with the shoulder bag is a real estate agent and they are checking out places to move to in the near future.

I was there for a wedding. No joke.
