Round Rock Cemetery

I spent some time in Round Rock Cemetery today.
Walked around and took in the history.
Met a wonderful elderly woman named Irene.
She took some time to talk with me about the cemetery.
Apparently there has been some vandalism here lately.
It is a shame that people feel the need to destroy 100+ year old tombstones.
Senseless.
That aside, it was rather relaxing.
Been playing around with some more HDR processing.
Cheers.

The Gravestones of St. John's Cemetery

These pictures were taken at St. John's Cemetery where many of the Swedish Methodists who immigrated to Round Rock were buried.
It is out in the country between Round Rock and Georgetown and will probably be overtaken by housing developments before too long.
Despite the age of some of the graves the cemetery is fairly well cared for and still used for burials today.
Cheers.
