if i lived in a cemetary...

i live a block away from Prospect park and although it is lovely and perfect for a stroll i much perfer the new hangout of greenwood cemetary a short jaunt away. this victorian cemetary is mindbogglingly beautiful with awesome tombs old graves and unlike crowded prospect park and its yuppie centric family atmosphere, greenwood cemetary is filled with peace and quite...gotta love dead people. traditionally the cemetary was where the victorians picknicked before prospect park was created, so i dont feel like im disrespecting the graves when i happily walk among them. there are several lakes, shady trees and lots of statues of weeping headless angels to make conversation of with friends. i visited on a sunny monday afternoon where the atmosphere immediately got eerie once past those giant gates and the sounds of parrots ( yes there are blue parrots around) and the wind replaced the earbleeding horns of the city. if you visit you must be prepared to walk some steep paths, the highest point of Brooklyn is here. there are several famous new yorkers buried in this massive plot of land including louis comfort tiffany designer and master of stained glass( credit to Clara Driscoll who did most of the work and never got acknowledged)...so below are photos of my adventure and new hang out spot...
