Unless You're Dead

no trespassing. I thought this warning sign was a little odd, but, I obeyed it, this time. Last week I drove through it in order to turn around to get a photo of the angel. I didn't see the sign then. I either missed it or they saw me and put up the sign, LOL.
Beautifully captured

Love the composition and the black and white

Lovely capture . . there's your angel! I guess that we can't take photos anywhere anymore if even this place is "off limits!"

Beautiful statue.

Strange sign; nice processing.
March 10th, 2012  
Great shot. Lovely angel. You can go there any time you want.
March 10th, 2012  
what an odd sign, but great photo
March 10th, 2012  
Great shot!! I find the sign strange though.
March 10th, 2012  
That is the strangest sign in the location.
March 10th, 2012  
People are dying to get in there!
March 10th, 2012  
This is wonderful, even if a bit strange with regards to the sign. I wonder if they've been having problems with vandals or something.

I have never heard of a no trespassing sign at a cemetery
March 10th, 2012  
Yeah, the sign doesn't make sense....
March 10th, 2012  
@klemieux Ha, yeah, apparently the only way you are allowed to enter.

You know, I have to chuckle over this- not because of the sign (it makes sense to me if you're visiting the grave of loved one, you don't want just anybody to walk in and have a picnic!) but because we have a neighbor who just put up a no trespassing sign on her property and one of these days I'm going to go photograph it- you'll see why. Good catch.

the fine print says "except for those with cameras". no worries. ;-)
March 10th, 2012  
great shot!
March 10th, 2012  
That's a very strange sign for a cemetery. The graves look really close together. Is it a small cemetery?
March 10th, 2012  
I find it also odd, many places even let you walk there for exercise
March 10th, 2012  
Great shot and it is an odd sign for a cemetery.
March 10th, 2012  
great spot and I wonder if they're trying to stop people making out there - or worse
March 10th, 2012  
Lovely shot.
I'm amazed that statue is still in one piece.
We have had many attacks on our cemetaries here with destruction of these wonderful statues.
March 10th, 2012  
Cool title, Rick. I love this shot.
March 10th, 2012  
Beautiful shot - perfect B&W and contrast. It does seem an odd sign!
March 10th, 2012  
Too bad about the new signage... it really changes the mood. But you still got a terrific shot!
March 10th, 2012  
How very odd is that sign! Great shot though Rick! Love the B&W
March 10th, 2012  
Well as my father used to say, "They're dying to get in there." I remember a time when I was a teen ager when kids used to hang out in the local cemetery smoking and making mischief. That's probably the issue here.
March 10th, 2012  
It's wonderful! You need Terry's badge!
March 10th, 2012  
Great shot Rick!
March 10th, 2012  
Nice capture... I visited a local cemetery recently where vandals had smashed off the heads of the figurines
March 10th, 2012  
No trespassing or...? How are you supposed to visit the graves? That's weird, I've never seen a sign like that on a graveyard unless it closed at night time.
March 10th, 2012  
Beautiful image. Interesting sign and I like how your captioned it
March 10th, 2012  
beautiful!
March 10th, 2012  
Spectacular angel with awesome wings !
March 10th, 2012  
This is a beautiful photo, Rick. I've never heard of a cemetary with a sign like that. If you get caught, just say you have "cemetery business" and that you are checking the place out for a future resting spot. But then again, I'm climbing over fences, trespassing and contributing to the delinquency of a minor lately so maybe you shouldn't listen to me.
March 10th, 2012  
@lauriehiggins Ha! You know, that thought crossed my mind as I read your comment. You just don't want to be alone in jail Ha!
March 10th, 2012  
Very humorous sign and story. I too would have stopped for this angel. Nice shot.
March 10th, 2012  
You've composed this very well Rick. I'm sure there's some story behind the sign
March 11th, 2012  
I bet they get a lot of photographers going about on non-cemetery business.
March 11th, 2012  
How interesting. NIce shot.
March 15th, 2012  
That is sort of funny.
March 17th, 2012  
Beautiful shot Rick... love the angel! Very strange sign to have at a cemetery but certainly a talking point.... ♥
