A Path at Mount Auburn Cemetery
Of all the cemeteries I’ve visited, Massachusetts’ Mount Auburn Cemetery has the most remarkable paths. The cemetery is so big that it doesn’t have roadways capable of reaching all its graves. Some graves actually lie along paths. The paths are so official that they even have street signs.

I’ve seen some amazing things in graveyards, but this stoic bird is one of my favorites.
