Cemetery in Marietta, Ohio

I've always had an affinity with exploring old cemeteries. It was a humid afternoon when I visited the Mound Cemetery. I walked around the old headstones and discovered an Indian Mound at the center of the cemetery. I also came across the graves of several Revolutionary War veterans, all marked with American Flags. The old houses in the background juxtaposed with the historic headstones in the foreground looked a little eerie to me and I loved it.
