"Time takes all but memories"

In honor of All Souls Day, here are some pictures that we took in the cemetery in downtown Nacogdoches.



Probably the coolest sundail ever...

My favorite angel statue.




The Virgin.




Amazing creepy broken statue.




A beautiful old grave.




And, finally, the stately oak tree which guards the cemetery.
