Farewell #Glasgow, a city that knows how to do a brooding #necropolis.

Love the detail on the grave monument for the theatre impresario John Henry Alexander in the Glasgow Necropolis, especially the rather wind-blown foliate green man.

A statue of the Virgin Mary, flanked by kneeling angels praying on either side. Mary's face is bathed in cyan-coloured light as sunlight shines through stained glass adorning the walls of a small family mausoleum. Located in the Necropolis Cemetery in Glasgow, Scotland. My husband and I had just passed this statue on our walkabout of the Necropolis, when we sat down on a stone wall nearby to have a heartfelt talk. We had come to Glasgow en route to see a friend near Aberdeen who recently underwent chemotherapy and surgery to remove his cancer. My husband had also lost his father a few years back and was visibly shaken by the size and scope of the cemetery, and the undeniable presence of death all around us. As we sat near this statue, weeping in unison for our friend's dire health, and for the many others whom we had lost, a raven plopped onto the grass beside us and cocked his head up to look at us quizzically. In my tears I had to laugh as it was such an unusual sight. He nestled in the grass not a foot from us, as to observe our sadness up close. His gazed seems so steadfast and assured, as if to tell us that it was alright, and death was surely not the end. This raven sat with us a full 15 minutes while we had a good cry and spoke of our losses and fears of the unknown. After a while, we gathered ourselves and went on to continue our walk, when the sun suddenly emerged from behind the clouds, beaming powerful hot on our tear-stained faces. The mausoleum, which had been dark and grey only minutes before, was now gloriously illuminated by the sunlight streaming through the many stained glass panels lining the roof of the mausoleum. I grabbed my camera and snapped away, not knowing how long the effect would last. I excitedly called over to another lady in the cemetery with a camera, to advise her of the wonderful sight so she could capture it as well. She gasped as she walked over and said to us: "It must be a sign". To this day, I like to think so.

Black and white photograph looking uphill through a scatter of tombstones and assorted funerary monuments. A stunted obelisk dominates the left foreground, while a dark shadow encroaches from the right of frame. The sky is largely clear with wispy clouds.

A beautiful and poignant sculpture on one side of the base of an otherwise plain obelisk in the Necorpolis in Glasgow. The only words on this memorial are 'Beloved Mother', and the name G. Mossman, one of the city's finest sculptors.

"The width of the road at Forefield Street is twelve feet two inches and at this wall seventeen feet. James Martin D. Of G."

It's the last of what were once three similar stones installed by James Martin, Dean of Guild, when the cemetery was being created in the 1830s by the Merchants House of Glasgow.

At first glance, this inscribed stone in the southern wall of the Necropolis in central Glasgow seems like just another grave marker, but when you examine it more closely, you see it's something quite different.

Built for Archibald Douglas Monteath, it's unusual in having no dedication or inscription of any kind on it.

The Monteath Mausoleum in the Necropolis in Glasgow. Dating from the mid-1800s, it was designed by David Cousin and was based on the Knights Templar Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

A slightly overgrown railway line splits off from better maintained ones, past two tall modern buildings and one older graffited one with a large chimney
If you ever catch a train from #Waterloo platform 1 & feel a bit of a chill, don't be surprised—the #London #Necropolis #Railway branch line heard about those trains without passengers, decided to run their own.
No, you won't see anything—they're #ghost trains after all.
