Not a Bad Place to Spend Eternity

Day 4 of my vacation was spent visiting Crown Hill Cemetery, which may seem odd to some, but it's actually been a highlight.  Again, it's a place I've never been to and always wanted to see.  The highest spot in the Indianapolis area (which isn't really hard to be), it provides a lovely view of the skyline.  And where else can you get a close-up of a famous poet, former President, and notorious criminal?

James Whitcomb Riley's grave is the far one in the pic above - situated on the highest point in Indianapolis. Harrison Eiteljorg in the foreground, see yesterday's blog entry.

very cool pics, Amy.

I want to check that out next time I am in Indy visiting my wife's family.

LOL, colter!  Yes Dee, I highly recommend it. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. I read it's the third largest cemetery in the country, as well.
