Graves are fascinating for many reasons. For me they are attempts to reach a form of immortality. My own fascination with graves began with trips to the amazing Père-Lachaise cemetery in Paris and Highgate in London several years ago.
Last week while looking for a picture on Flickr I started a group for photographs of famous graves and the collection is growing fast. The graves go from formal to humorous, from plain to ornate.
