Cold & Still: A Photographer’s Polar Walk Through Reflection Pointe Cemetery

When Fauxtographer and I had to reschedule our last Saturday outing, I instead planned to visit a few local cemeteries.

I speak from experience when I say you should listen to local weather forecasts. It was cold.

Reflection Pointe is a relatively small cemetery with just 282 graves, so it normally wouldn't take very long to visit adequately regardless, but it was... cold. Let me add that I am not particularly sensitive to the cold, therefore, you should know that when I say it's cold (in italics and such), I mean it's COLD.

Ok, now that we've clarified that I wasn't just a warmth-seeking weakling, lets continue.

Reflection Pointe is a pretty new cemetery, with the oldest memorial being Mr. De Vega in 1981, and the newest being quite recent. That said, I can find absolutely no further information on this cemetery at this time other than (quite importantly) they have a therapy dog named Huxley.

Here are the rest of the photos:

These photos reflect the weather: cold, and dreary. I had to take these in three "sessions" between getting in the car to defrost. I also almost face-planted on decorative rocks that were irrationally glaciated.

If you have any information on this site, I'd love to get the details.
