St. Giles' Churchyard, Oxford, UK

I thought I'd share some pictures of St. Giles' Churchyard, a beautiful place that I used to pass every day during the year I studied in England. It was always full of those huge wood pigeons, which I ultimately ended up calling cemetery chickens. As you can see, the grave markers really look nothing like their contemporaries across the Atlantic. The English and American styles in grave carving diverged radically beginning very early in the colonies' history.
