Oh, my goodness! This lovely portrayal of the Mount Auburn Cemetery is stunning! Bravo! As I opened each image it was as if I was there and walking through a beautiful arboretum. I could almost smell the aroma of autumn leaves.
Thanks Audrey! I’m glad you enjoyed the walk through! I’ll be sure to add some more in the future!
