Timeless design

This is a view inside the historic Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta with one of our modern skyscrapers in the bg. I liked that the style of the monument was echoed in the building.

A beautiful capture, Courtenay! Love your perspective! I sure was hoping Mel would have given us the answer about the fence. Now I'm curious. I've been to the one in Key West and they lock it up at night. Guess people try to steal and vandalize.#9608147
