Cemetery Walk Through Bay View
Bay View Cemetery, according to A Guide to Cemeteries in Essex County Massachusetts, is also known at Third Parish Cemetery. It is said to be the third oldest in Gloucester established in 1728 (according to Find-a-Grave). One of the most notable items from my recent walk through are the slate stones. These always fascinate me and it appears the slate stones in this cemetery are much wider than the slate stones I typically see in New York cemeteries. The etchings are art in themselves and it makes me want to study up on the stone carvers of the era.
It’s very hilly and uneven so take care. There are also signs of disrepair so be vigilant if you are doing your own walk through.



I wondered if there was ever a view of a bay from here and it seems perhaps so: water is visible off in the distance.

It shows beauty even in winter:

This is the scene that attracted me to this cemetery in the first place one October day a while back. Even cats sometimes want to pay respect, although I suspect a different motivation here.

Thanks to Lisa Smith and 1623 Studios, I Am More has a video and it was released the other day.

Lisa is apparently a genius because I was a nervous wreck and you really can’t tell! She did an amazing job of capturing the spirit of the project, so feel free to share!

The .01% is winning and we’re all losing because it.

These are people desperate for attention and media outlets desperate for clicks and views to sell advertising. It’s the perfect storm. The media company knows it’s so outrageous that it will get people talking and viewing. 99.9 % of people have no problem with any of it. It’s the .01% that is vocal and desperate for attention and not only are they getting it, but they are influencing what is being shown on tv and print through the fear of losing advertising dollars. Sad really.
The perpetually offended are winning with a teeny tiny minority.
Thanks @aliciadewolfe for the graphic.
