my small town. This was taken on a morning bike ride and there was a sea mist hanging over the hill making the scene a bit mysterious. To top it off there was a dog howling here too!
Three good things:
1. Don't tell the Lab nurse but I did a 3/4 hour bike ride before my cholesterol and sugar blood tests. Supposed to reduce them and although my cholesterol is a teeny bit high, my mother's was high too and she lived to 95 and never had a heart event.
2. Information about my peppermint plant - will keep on using the leaves in everything!
3. Fun making a picture for the toy/puzzle challenge.
Great title ! A very tidy grave yard........I like the hedge boundaries it seems to make a frame! A large grave yard for what I imagine is quite a small town? Well I think the nurse should applaud you for your bike riding exercise! I am sure some people have a natural higher cholesterol level anyway....sometimes I think they know too much!
@happypat Last time - some years ago - the doctor told me to watch my diet then I told him I was a dietitian so he said, take the diet sheet anyway! I threw it away as i know what i'm eating and its healthy! This is the old part of the graveyard - 1800's to early 1900s. There is another big one not far away.
Love this shot. I had an discussion with my doctor re cholesterol. Asked him to convince me to take tablets. Tests proved that while my cholesterol was high I didn't need tablets so back to just eating a sensible cholesterol controlling diet and exercising.
A beautifully laid out graveyard, dog howling sounds a bit spooky!
I had a cholesterol count of 8+ after 7 years of eating extremely little and I certainly didn't eat anything fatty, so I think it must be genetic.
@pixiemac I agree too with that. I have got a friend who only had a count of 6.5 and he has had to have a triple by pass because of the amount of cholesterol built up in the arteries! But his father, grandfather and brother were all the same!
A very neat and tidy grave yard! Lots of atmosphere with the fog on the hillside! I can almost hear the dog howling. Oh no it's Finlay at the door waiting to come from the snowy garden.
@sailingmusic I suppose it was the edge of town way back in the early 1900's Myrna. This is the Old Cemetery and the newer one spreads over a nearby hill!
Ha Ha. When we were visiting our friends in Schnapper Rock in Auckland, he was giving us a tour of the area and when we passed the Cemetery, he explained that it was the Dead Center of Town. We laughed then too.
Good luck with the cholesterol stuff. I couldn't get mine down no matter what I did, but drugs did the trick! And this shot is really moving -- the combination of being a graveyard, but being in the middle of town and such a welcoming site.
@taffy I looked at the results 2 years ago and although some results are high, I feel that I have control. Will await the latest results. The lady (Charly) in charge of the Monuments, told us she loves walking through here!
Great shot - very atmospheric. A glass of red wine taken an hour or so before will also reduce your cholesterol reading significantly ... or have one anyway ... or two ...
I like this view and the way you've processed it. Makes me want to know what is on some of those gravestones. Would some of them be for early settlers?
My cholesterol and my mother's is also a bit high, and we eat rather healthy. It must be something genetic.
