Salem

For my birthday I went to Salem, Massachusetts and it was interesting. There were so many places for great photos and the architecture was really intriguing. The town has so much history and thats one of the reasons why it was such a good place for me to take some photos. There were many historical houses and they were all black, which is interesting and something we don't have a lot of on Long Island. The grave yards were also interesting because they were so old and worn out that some of them couldn't even be read from the ware and tare. One place in particular is the Burying Point, which is the oldest cemetery in Salem and many of the grave stones were from the 1600's. I thought those would be awesome to photograph because its historical and I don't see many stones here that date that far back. One grave stone in particular was in my opinion kind of beautiful because it had all these pink-purple flowers around it. It was also next to this huge tree that had a giant hole in it and looked decayed. This one was beautiful I think because its ironic that in a place of death, which is not seen as beautiful, there were these extremely pretty flowers growing everywhere in bright colors. I think thats what drew me in because I took plenty of other photographs but the ones I took in this cemetery were something else.
