Those are some old graves! How old do they date back to?

This is a really sweet IR image, I like the tones, and they seem to lend themselves to a graveyard.

I like this view showing all the angles the headstones are leaning. They add a strong emphasis on the age of the cemetery. The IR palette works well here too.

Thanks Jim, Boston was so neat, and what great town from so many different aspects. History, Food, Sports .....

Here's From the Boston Parks and Recreation Website:

Named after Shoemaker William Copp, Copp's Hill Burying Ground is the final rest place and burying
ground for Merchants, Artisans, and Craftspeople who lived in the North End

Located on a hill on which a windmill once stood, the land was given to the town. Copp’s Hill was Boston’s largest colonial burying ground, dating from 1659.
Some notables buried in Copp's Hill are fire-and-brimstone preachers Cotton and Increase Mather, two Puritan ministers closely associated with the Salem witch trials, and Black Freemasonry founder Prince Hall. The burying ground also holds Old North Church sexton Robert Newman, the man who hung the lanterns on the night of Paul Revere’s midnight ride, and Edmund Hartt, builder of the USS Constitution. Countless free African-Americans are buried in a potter's field on the Charter Street side of the site. Because of its height and panoramic vistas, the British used this vantage point to train their cannons on Charlestown during the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775.

Thanks very much Alan, it was incredible all the Historic features with all the big Buildings and Historic Buildings all around.
It was like a living History Book at every turn, we had an excellent guide that moved us all around the city and explained things so
well. Had to smile he had been a History Teacher for a long, long time, one of the first Teachers I liked ;-)

Take Care, Be Safe, and Well,

Thanks very much Doug, I couldn't believe the history at every turn, so neat to see all the places I'd been taught about and
read about.
