Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween from Highgate Cemetery!  This cemetery, established in 1839, is home to many famous people.  Take a stroll on a cold, drizzly day through the ivy-covered and somewhat dilapidated headstones.  Peaceful during the day....who knows what goes on at night?  There was a sign posted saying that there is a need for a night security watchman... any takers?





William Richard Foyle, founder of the iconic Foyle's Book Store in London.


I like the pot of pens placed in front of this writer's grave.



The most famous of those interred here, Karl Marx.




Not to worry - lots of angels watching over the dead.







Make no mistake about the condition of the sculptor buried here.




Be careful going down this path - you never know where it may lead.  Have a Happy Halloween!
