Comments on: Winter Dawn At Bow Cemetery https://spitalfieldslife.com/2013/02/28/winter-dawn-at-bow-cemetery/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sun, 26 Jan 2014 17:36:11 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Moy Peralta https://spitalfieldslife.com/2013/02/28/winter-dawn-at-bow-cemetery/#comment-244746 Sun, 26 Jan 2014 17:36:11 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=82751#comment-244746 Magical description and photographs. For all their vastness, the garden cemeteries always seem such intimate places. Where else in the heart of a city can one roam so unhindered…

Capturing it at dawn was certainly a treat and I agree, “you are never alone in a cemetery.” I enjoyed reading this and glad you made it back home in time for the milkman’s early morning delivery.

Beautiful writing and photography. I look forward to all your daily posts and read them avidly.

A few years ago I was very ill and visited my local graveyard often, it made me face my fears. In very old cemeteries I am always struck by the ages of the children laid to rest, it gives a very real picture of infant mortality down through history. For anyone on a visit to Scotland, I can recommend a walk through the graveyard behind the Dean Gallery (Scottish Gallery of Modern Art) in Edinburgh if you have an hour or two to pass.

I certainly did! Great photos, very atmospheric.

trees will not wait once
the seed germinates

lifting fog –
even the stones decay
from bygone griefs
