Charlie T. Dodson. 1947-1997. Flint Ridge Cemetery. The gravestone looks like it’s still in the frame it was poured in, handles and all. #restinpeace #georgiacemeteries #cemeterywandering #fayettecountyga

Cora Garner. 1911-1961. New Georgia Baptist Cemetery. The photograph really caught my eye. I don’t believe I’ve seen such an in-motion shot like that on a grave before. She looks amazing. #restinpeace #georgiacemeteries #gravephoto #gravestone

Gravemarker. Mt. Sinai Cemetery. Clarke County. The recent graves in this cemetery are well maintained, but older sections trail off into the woods and are overgrown. There were a couple of gravestones like this in the woods. #georgiacemeteries #cemeterywandering #restinpeace #gravestone

Gravehouse, interior view. Haw Creek Cemetery. Forsyth County. The burials occurred in 1875 and 1882, so obviously the gravehouse has had repair work done. The original roof (either tin or wooden shingles I would guess) has been replaced with synthetic materials. #georgiacemeteries #gravehouse
