day 38: cold and blue
i drove past a huge cemetery today and stopped in to take pictures. it was a perfect (and horrible) day to be in a cemetery with a camera. it was dark, overcast, and there was a heavy fog in the air. there were 3 huge mausoleums in the cemetery and the picture above is of the first one. it was clearly the oldest. i was totally uncomfortable the entire time i was here. it was cold, almost silent, all marble, smelling of fake flowers, and strange music played through speakers in the hallways. i didn't want to be disrespectful of the space, but my stomach was in knots the whole time. i could not shake the fact that there were walls full of dead bodies and ashes. hundreds of people were in the walls.
