This cemetery is located on CA179 near Onyx. It is not maintained, however there are recent burials, last 5 years. The children's graves are particularly sad because it appears they have not been cared for in many years. .. Cliff

For those who have missed it in the General Talk section, some cemetery photos of special interest to Pentax users: the Kajiwara family tomb at Tama Reien in Tokyo, containing (among others) the remains of Kumao Kajiwara (first president of Asahi Optical) and his brother Takuma, for whom the Takumar series of lenses were named:

So glad to see you used a lens with the man's name on it. Very appropriate! Nice photos of a beautiful and well kept family tomb. What is the significance of the burning incense?

I don't know "well-kept" I would call it; I had to do some small bit of cleaning up. Those fallen leaves weren't from this year. Offering up incense is just a Buddhist thing. Sending up well-wishes/prayers/whatever on the smoke, I suppose. Smells nice, too.

There was no way I was going to make a special trip to visit the grave of Takuma Kajiwara and not shoot it with a Takumar.

Great thread! Thanks to all the photogs for your work.

I hope to get some IR grave shots in from my new IR cam. Still trying to figure it out. Wrote to the guru of BW IR photography here, but no reply. Will have to figure it ou on my own. Just waiting for some nice clouds, we got plenty of freaky grave monuments here.

I would take this for a gravestone, anywhere but in the trendy shopping center where it is. On the other hand, maybe some one IS buried here.
