Here's some pictures of my trip to see evil_little_dog

The Haunted Williard Library

And inside the library. I couldn't do this place justice. It's lovely.


And Oak Hills Cemetery because cemeteries have beautiful art, no really.

Katie and her baby. I have a close up of the baby's grave as well


This little boy was so German, not just in dress but the whole tombstone is in German


Another little boy, feeding a lamb a fish...I'm not entirely sure of the symboltry other than it's very very Christian


Just look at the armband and the detail on her gown, beautiful


And then we have the Catholic cemetery. Ostentatious thy name is Catholic. I'm used to the very flashy Italian graveyards of the North east but midwestern Germans prove they can hold their own.

Why yes, we had more money than God, just look at us


No, no we have more money, look a life sized Jesus and BOTH Mary's


Hey don't count us out. We can reproduce the Pieta!

And here something I've never seen anywhere else. The circle are graves of priest. That's not the surprise. The surprise is the Stations of the Cross ringing around it. I've not seen them outside of a church before (and hey, if you thought they were creepy as a young child in church, that's nothing compared to these large ones outside where pollution makes them look bloody)

the ghost was in the basement. But it was ugly down there and I would have had no reason to be snapping pictures so I didn't try.
