Highgate Cemetery photos
I spent some of yesterday's holiday at Highgate Cemetery in North London. Best known as the burial place of Karl Marx, Highgate is a magnificent, decrepit (many of the crypts were damaged in the Blitz) boneyard, and the tours offered on the west side are spectacular (despite the notably unfriendly demeanor and shrill demands for donations from the woman who was working the gate -- I'm happy to donate money to the charitable trust that maintains the place, but I'm not thrilled about having my arm twisted, nor about being made to physically show that my cellphone has been switched off before I was admitted past the gates).
I took some photos that really turned out well. I've put up a gallery.
