Trinity Churchyard


Trinity Church is down on lower Broadway

(at Wall St.).  The current building is
the third one, built in 1846.  (Its spire was the
highest point in NYC until 1890.)
Among the people buried here in the churchyard are 
Robert Fulton, Albert Gallatin (the founder of 
NYU), and Alexander Hamilton—Founding Father, 
bad shot, and current pop-culture icon.

ABC Wednesday—G is for "gravestones"

These are in Père Lachaise cemetery, one
of the most beautiful, peaceful spots in Paris.
Though it makes for a good photo op, it
also saddens me to see how some of
the graves have fallen into a sorry state.

Photo Hunt—"flat"

In the church of Santa Croce, in Florence,
gravestones are set flat in the floor.  In
some parts of the church, they're
cheek by jowl (so to speak), and hard to
avoid—but I still can't bring myself to walk
over them.  Not because it's creepy; it just
doesn't seem fittin' somehow.
