A bit of a wack at it at least. Not through shooting the place. It's a really cool little cemetery with lots of visual variety.

Time only moves forward:














Some Woodmen of the World gravestones. The tree stumps are such an odd touch:





Those aren't fancy gravestones for lumberjacks. Woodmen of the World are one of the secret societies fraternal organizations that are response for how many interesting gravesites we have in Oregon. Woodmen, Eastern Star, etc all favored mausoleums and interesting headstones. They wanted to leave indelible marks. There are a lot of Woodmen medallions in our city's giant mausoleum.











One of our better known graves:



An iron gate and a concrete topper with an iron cross bolted to it:





Iron cross/bolt detail:



I also took some lot 14 pictures, but am not posting those for now. The pictures are fine, but the context is a lot. Pre-pandemic I'd been working on a sideblog about gravesites and had been researching that. I needed some of my own images in case I pick that up again. I wish I had pictures from a few points in the past but time only moves forward.
