Ah there is nothing more lovely than Green Wood Cemetery at night…no, really. Now for those who know us, know that we are not at all goth nor are we particularly morbid. This is just one of those places that’s just breathtaking and an oasis for us in our neighborhood. Like I say to people, I feel very at ease there, it’s like my backyard…only full of dead people. See we live a couple of blocks from the cemetery and often go for walks in there, but they close the grounds at 5pm and this is the only way to visit it at night. Once a year they have a night tour during a full moon, and many people go (this year there were definitely more people than last year). See them all (pictured above) attentively listening to Jeff Richman (in the top hat) who conducts the tour. Oh and see the gothic chapel in the back, that’s where we got married almost a year ago. Ah memories.
Though everyone is encouraged to bring a flashlight, it’s really quite unnecessary. The light of the full moon is bright enough to see by but being in the city, people tend to forget that. So next year for all of you that decide to go…please turn off your flashlights and if it’s too scary for you then please don’t shine them into my eyes.
