American Gothic

I love this photo taken a few years ago at the Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland, California. My folks and I made an excursion to see the beautiful stained glass skylights in the columbarium and the native and exotic trees of the Victorian era cemetery (see Trees of Mountain View Cemetery).

An American Gothic Halloween

On Millionaire Row, the mausoleum in the background is lit up with warm fall light, while the cute couple in the foreground could be the Halloween version of American Gothic. Instead of being spooked, though, these two look like they are enjoying themselves and taking in the marvelous views from high on the hill.
