Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, Georgia

If you think about the classic southern cememtery with trees covered with Spanish Moss, Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, Georgia is probably the cemetery you are thinking about. I had a chance to visit Bonaventure Cemetery on my trip to Savannah and Charleston. I’d seen many photos taken there – so thought I knew what to expect – elaborate gravestones, spanish moss, dogwood, azaleas, live oak trees, wisteria etc. But I was still surprised at how lush and beautiful it was there – and that it was just a bit spooky even in the middle of the day.

OK – maybe the spooky is because I’m a huge Doctor Who fan – and as I walked around photographing all I could think was DON’T BLINK!!!!!

Here are a few of the photos I took at Bonaventure Cemetery.

I fell in love with Savannah, Charleston and the Low Country on my trip in March – already trying to figure out when I get back to the area to do a bit more exploring – including spending more time at Bonaventure Cemetery.
