Description
The other day a friend of mine drove me out to the cemetery so I could take pictures. (Good guy, huh?)
One of the local old-time families in these parts are the Ruckers. They had this tomb build in 1907, and it cost $30,000 to build. It's a local landmark, as I'm sure you can imagine! There's even a rock band in these parts called "Rucker's Tomb," and I understand the tomb had a part in a movie once.
For a sense of scale ... the door is seven feet tall and four feet wide. There are 22 crypts in the pyramid
Evergreen Cemetery is a cool place, and I had a great time!

WOW! There's something you don't see every day. This is a gorgeous shot! The Ruckers, huh...? I wonder if the writer Rudy Rucker is any relation? He's one of those SF writer/mathematician guys running around. Anyway, I love this shot and the great stone textures that you've captured.

Cool shot Tara...I like that kind of stuff also...Meaning the old headstones, compared to the flat ones now.
