Glendale Cemetery, no signs of life
With the leaves as they are and the season so perfectly set, Glendale Cemetery seemed the perfect location to take a Halloween stroll. Hoping for some roaming Simon Perkins zombie, I initially felt somewhat disappointed when one never appeared, but the nicely colored rolling hills of Glendale certainly made up for the lack of walking dead.Glendale is an eerily still, yet peaceful, plot of land surrounded by the eerily depressed and unpeaceful West Akron--a beautiful refuge for the departed. In 1839, while Britain forced opium into pipes of China, Glendale appeared. The newly built Ohio Canal stretched its way across the state, bringing more future burials to Glendale. The need for grave diggers and cemetery space would soon sky-rocket.

Glendale is one of my favorite locations to walk around and snap some photos. Nice work.
The gravestones with the red tree is the one I like best. I've only been to Glendale on Thanksgiving morning for the 4 mile race.
Look at you staggering photos with HTML. My goodness, you're all grows up.
I like the angle shot of the mausoleum with the lions, mostly because it reminded me of a scene from the movie 12 Monkeys.
And yes Kyle, I too look forward to hoofing it up those hills during the Homerun for the Homeless.
