Bonaventure Cemetery, Savannah, Georgia.

One of the old US cemeteries (there are 3-4) considered to be among the best of gothic and renaissance design.
John Berendt’s first book, ‘Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil’ is one of the most published novels in US history. A movie of the same name turned this cemetery into a huge tourist attraction. The story line is based around this cemetery, Savannah GA, and Beaufort, SC. Some how Savannah has managed to keep most of it’s historical and beautiful architecture in tact.


I have always wanted to visit and compare to our Magnolia cemetery, one of the other major old gothic grave yards. They are similar in some ways, and very different in others. Magnolia is always on the verge of ruin, and has no tourists to speak of.

As I expected it’s a photographer paradise, if you arrive early.
