But not just any cemetery... a couple Saturdays back I joined a Polish friend on a beautiful afternoon walk of Olsanske hrbitovy or Olsany cemetery. There was so much to discover from 18th century grave stones, dedications in Czech, German and myriad other languages, upside down doves, interesting displays of urns, the British POW cemetery, Soviet Red Army cemetery, monument to Tsarist Russia, Bulgarian cemetery, WWI cemetery and a Russian Orthodox church that was just beginning service with the beautiful lull of a women's choir.
Since it's a pain in the neck to post more than 1 picture on blogger, I started to experiment with tumblr. Here's the link to my cemetery photos. Enjoy! Olsanske hrbitovy photo stream
