The Evergreens Cemetery

Dec 2023

Beautiful hilly cemetery. It's a great place for peaceful strokes if you don't mind too much the background noise of the cars. It reminds me of Green-Wood cemetery, but I find it less vibrant than its larger sibling.

This is an amazing place where silence is intertwined with history. A walk through its alleys plunges into the atmosphere of the past, full of respect for the departed. Beautiful nature and carefully tended graves create an atmosphere of peace and contemplation. This is a place where you can respectfully remember your ancestors and enjoy the silence, broken only by the chirping of birds. ?⚱️
