Grave yards are some of my favourite places for taking walks. At Highgate Cemetary in London I can walk for hours in the calm and peaceful athmosphere. The statues are all very beautiful here.
This sleeping woman was found under the ivy last year, and totally intact, in one piece of marble. She had been sleeping under the ivy for decades.
This dog is another faithful friend, just like Bobby, sculptured to stay with his master or mistress beyond death.

I find cemeteries fascinating always. These are beautiful and poignant captures.
I’m a fan of cemeteries too – I just have to visit.
Love the idea of the sleeping beauty being undiscovered for so long 🙂
Me too. But there was indeed IVY everywhere, and this part of the cemetery was a bit neglected.
Both of these statues are very heart-touching. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Very moving and heart touching, A-C!
I just love that first photo.

The little sleeper is so very lovely!
I agree – she is a true beauty.
Sleeping under the ivy is fabulous
She is, thank you. Still in one piece – a masterpiece.
Beautiful statue, resting in all the green:) Great photos.
It was a a lovely sleeping beauty – yes!
Love that first image…I like Highgate, and also the delict parts of Nunhead…I feel the need for another visit, it’s some years since I was at either. 🙂
I don’t know about Nunhead?
