Notre Dame de Lorette, I see. You do like your big military cemeteries. It seems like ancient history, but there are people alive today who also were when all those interred there died. Horrific.

Are the tombs out of alignment on purpose? The photo is fascinating.

I really don't know, maybe because there's lack of space because on the other side of the church, the tombs are more orderly aligned. This was a small cemetery 'circled' around the church.

Despite the tropical sunniness of that photo, the cemetery manages to look as properly solemn as any other.

This cemetery is predominantly Italian (the Catholic side of the cemetery)

You'd have thought there'd be plenty of souls in that there graveyard.

Looks like a fine day for a walk, Lugg.

Ohh, that is the classic English country cemetery, Lugg, and your pictures are dreamily evocative. For my taste, cemeteries are even nicer when there are no living people around besides me. I don't remember seeing your picture above Lugg's, Kerouac. It's a wonderful compact capture of a place & its terrain. I'm assuming that's Guatemala, and note Mayan on the cross in the foreground. It's interesting that they do EPD (en paz descansa) opposite from Mexico, where it's DEP (descansa en paz/rest in peace).

Yes, that was in Guatemala. (At the moment my friend is worried about being stuck there, because obviously his school is closed, but also the country's borders are closed, and the situation is still deteriorating. He might have to stay beyond the summer holidays. Obviously he could be evacuated if it were essential, but he is one of those people whose sense of responsibility is much stronger than his personal comfort.)
