Description
This is London to, visiting The Highgate cemetery is a photographic journey in history. It was very hot that Sunday, you can notice the high contrast is the photographs. And because you can only visit here by guided 1 hour tour, we didn’t have a choice of the moment of the day either.
Highgate Cemetery grounds are full of old-growth trees, shrubbery and wild flowers that are a haven for birds and small animals such as foxes. The Egyptian Avenue and the Circle of Lebanon (topped by a huge Cedar of Lebanon) feature tombs, vaults and winding paths dug into hillsides. For its protection, the oldest section, which holds an impressive collection of Victorian mausoleums and gravestones, plus elaborately carved tombs, allows admission only in tour groups.
Take care, have a great day and thanks for your support and kind comments on my previous postings. Also thanks to everyone who added my work as a favorite. Cornelis

such a lovely capture of the old cemetary area. the mausoleums really beautiful, houses for the dead. it's a shame that you are only allowed in by tour, but if it was open to all, i can imagine the damage and descration of the tombs, heatstones, and mausoleums that would take place.
