Description
Finca Vigia is surrounded by luxurious and well-kept grounds. The gardeners were forbidden to cut back the roots by Hemingway so this is what you get when a tree is allowed to grow unmolested for about seventy years.
Hemingway adored cats. He even bred them for a time. But they did not get the same consideration as his dogs. The dogs got the full gravesite with headstone treatment.
Hemingway was an also avid sport fisherman. His beloved Pilar is on display just off the main house.

interesting photos Can we rightfully assume that the graves are for his dogs?

Love the roots!
I've never really understood gravestones, even for people . I'm not even having a funeral myself, the hospital will cut me up for teaching. But each to their own!

lol, I think Andrea's comment comes under the heading, TMI (too much information for my interests). A fascinating upload, I love the specifics. And the tree shot is an upload by itself, with beautiful detail on the long rivulets of roots, and lots of light behind (by contrast). I love the tiny "snippet" of the grave shot, with lots of dappled light. And the boat seems dark and mysterious, esp with that bright green and white behind it. Love that you included Hemingway in this series. just to show more of the richness of this area. I hope people zoomed, because the details are far more present that way. And btw, if you leave a tree untouched in Chicago for 70 years, believe me, it'll never look like this. I mean never. With our cold? All those exterior roots would slither into the ground and stay there...
