Hollywood Cemetery
It was such a beautiful day, I was really happy to get out of Bowe St and enjoy being out. I would've been a little miserable if I stayed inside all day on a Friday.
I was super glad I got to go to the Hollywood Cemetery. I was impressed at the extremely large size, cleanliness, and organization of it. I did sit and sketch, but it was really difficult to concentrate and make good sketches because I was distracted and paranoid by all the bugs flying and crawling around. They kept landing on me/my sketchbook and flying wayyyyy too close to me. I accidently killed quite a few in the process of brushing them off me.... My friends must've thought I was an overreacting idiot. -__- I hate bugs.....
I got to see the pretty mausoleum with its stained glass windows and tomb of the Richmond vampire (it was super creepy and looked like an oven :C). I really loved the statues that were scattered throughout the cemetery. Most of them were angels or the virgin Mary, and even though their faces were pretty generic, they were so pretty and gave off a sense of peacefulness/melancholy. I think the cemetery is a nice, quiet place to clear your mind and think/reflect. I'll probably become a regular visitor.
