Five of us made it out to Mt. Hope Cemetery today. The weather ended up cooperating really well. Here's a photo of Chris and Matt.

It was lots of fun and I was overwhelmed with the amount of photo opportunities. This would be a nice yearly outing- or perhaps a nice winter one. I'm going to look over my photo- and hopefully find the time to post some.
There's a nice cemetery like this in Buffalo too- maybe a summer outing?

This was my first visit to Mt.Hope and I will be going back. Matt is right, the photo opportunities are enormous and getting some Winter shots could be rewarding.
I had met Kelly and Matt at the Capture Rochester reception and it was finally nice to meet Angel and Chris in person. It was a good day and I look forward to meeting more of you at the next outing....any ideas?

Here's a short explanation on why people leave stones at a grave...

Unlike people from other religions, Jews do not typically place flowers at gravesites. Instead, they often place stones on the grave or tombstone. The origin of the custom is uncertain, though it may relate to ancient times when a pile of stones was used as a marker. The most common explanation is that placing stones is a symbolic act that indicates someone has come to visit and the deceased has not been forgotten.
