Weekend Reflection: outdoors indoors at the columbarium

Seen recently at Mt. View Cemetery.  Feels peaceful to me.  For more reflections, visit James's meme.

    This is a dignified image. Peaceful is right. Nice.

    I use to always enjoy walking cemeteries. They are always peaceful and quiet. Now as I have grown older I don't go anymore. I start looking at the dates, do the math and the results are scary so I quit going.

    Nice capture, Carolyn.
    Before «Louis» moved to France, he lived near Mountain View, but never visited. He wishes that he had...

    What a great reflection shot, Carolyn! Your light and composition is perfect. [When standing on those escalators in my post, it's not that disorienting... I only noticed this walking past it because the sides are reflective metal.]

    I like the opposition between the life in the garden and the death in the columbarium... Nice work on the symbolic, here...

    Joli reflet des arbres, du jardin. Sérénité en ce lieu de recueillement.

    Fascinating, I hadn't ever seen a place like this in the US before. Back in October when James (yes, James of Weekend Reflections) was in Paris we went walking in Père Lachaise Cemetery, and spent quite a little while in the large Columbarium there, looking closely at many of the plaques and their various decorations.

    I like cimetery like a park. Here, the columbarium are outside.

    Sometimes I have a dream "un mur de recueillement" face à la mer, I wrote this some hears ago (Imagine a columbarium here) :
