Precious impressions of love and mourning
During a short holiday with my daughter we noticed a special cemetery close to the mountains, we only discovered it during our departure. Luckily next year we were able to visit the same region again, this time we made sure we visited this cemetery. Having seen so many Dutch graveyards it is extra nice to... Continue Reading →
In 2017 I visited the old cemetery in Albufeira, I was moved and overwhelmed at this cemetery. The photos from 2017 can be viewed here. When I was on holiday in Albufeira again in 2018, this cemetery drew me again, a second time I personally find a must. Often you cannot view and absorb everything... Continue Reading →
When you think of Albufeira, this evokes the association with partying youth and rugged coastlines. In 2017, during my holiday in Albufeira, I discovered that the town has a very old cemetery. I decided to visit it coupled with a walk, which became a tough walk as the temperature quickly rose above 30 degrees. I... Continue Reading →
During a holiday on the Moselle we visited the beautiful and authentic Bernkastel-Keus. Just outside the old center, my attention was drawn to an old cemetery. It was on a hill, not particularly large, and had a magical effect on me. About the cemetery Originating during the plague outbreak, this terrace-shaped cemetery was built on... Continue Reading →
Despite the fact that this cemetery is located next to a large (s) monument to commemorate victims of the First World War, I was unable to find information about the cemetery. The beauty of this cemetery was the balance between old and recent graves, it shows how long the cemetery has been part of the... Continue Reading →
During holidays abroad I often intend not to visit a cemetery as an outing, and then we pass a cemetery and I have to take a look. This is also the case in the small pictures Anfo, on Lake Idro. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything about the cemetery itself, the graves showed that this cemetery... Continue Reading →
During a short holiday in Switzerland I had the pleasure of visiting a small cemetery in AquaRossa together with my daughter (who also developed a preference for cemetery photography). Sometimes the small cemeteries can surprise me with their wealth of funerary art. That was also the case here, the greatness with which I had said... Continue Reading →
Sometimes I find it difficult to decide whether I will still post a collection of photos taken so long ago (2015). I myself am very critical of the quality (which is frankly bad), but the value of the impression may add something. That is why I decided to add this small collection anyway, and who...

Earlier (in 2016) I had visited Schoonselhof cemetery, which is almost impossible to view in its entirety in one day (let alone photograph), which is why I decided to go back to it in 2017.
Sometimes the lesser known and smaller cemeteries are special discoveries. During a day in Kleve we decided to look for a cemetery and ended up at the general Cemetery Kleve on Merowingerstraße. There are a number of particularly large monuments, including images that are more than life-size and inspired photographically. The conversation with a visitor... Continue Reading →
The enormous greatness of this cemetery overtook me on my first visit, there was so much to see. Where to start? I often enjoy walking around a cemetery two times, sometimes I like to use a different lens without changing lenses for each photo. It was immediately clear to me that this cemetery with its...

An afternoon was actually too short to visit and capture this cemetery. So many old graves, so much decay and faded glory. It was abundantly clear that the wealthy had said goodbye to their lost loved ones with many great gestures. A rich funerary history opened his arms to make me wander, the quality of...

In 2012 I was enchanted by the light and the way it colored the graves, unlike the light, the energy felt very heavy in some places. Normally I only experience this in cemeteries with relatively "young" graves and this was the first time (in 2012) that I noticed it so strongly in a cemetery with... Continue Reading →
A misinterpretation from our navigation brought us to this cemetery (the great cemetery of Brussels was the goal). Since I always try to open myself to the unexpected we decided to go for this unplanned visit of this cemetery. Unfortunately I was able to find very little information because I cannot say with certainty which... Continue Reading →
During a day of touring in the Ardennes, something my husband and I like to do on Sundays, we drove past a small walled cemetery. Sometimes it can be difficult for me to choose what I want to spend my energy (which is unfortunately limited) on and that means that I don't visit and photograph... Continue Reading →
This was one of those special afternoons where time seemed endless as I strolled through a forgotten past. The cemetery offers a varied picture of modern and old graves, this invites you to walk quietly, watch, stand still and moments of reflection. In my case this goes together with looking through my lens, where I... Continue Reading →
During a holiday in 2012, on the way to a supermarket in the Dordogne, we passed a small cemetery. At the time, I was even more than desperate to visit a cemetery to capture a photographic impression. I did not take a lot of photos, but recently I browsed through the 20 photos I took... Continue Reading →
Striking were the many graves, in my opinion of historical value, that would be cleared. To be honest, I was sad to realize that the cemetery as I observed it would not be there in a while because so many old and authentic parts would disappear. It was also special to experience how different this... Continue Reading →
