Last month while I was in Rochester, NY for a workshop, I spent a wonderful morning photographing at Mount Hope Cemetery. Founded in 1838, Mount Hope is a beautiful garden/rural cemetery full of wonderful statuary and stone carving. I thought I’d share some of my photos from Mount Hope Cemetery with you today.

I’d love to spend more time photographing at Mount Hope Cemetery. My guess is in spring, summer or fall, the foliage will give the cemetery a completely different look. And hopefully, if there isn’t snow on the ground, I’ll be able to photograph Frederick Douglas’s grave!
