The Greenwood Cemetery in western Brooklyn is one of America’s oldest, largest, most famous, and beautiful cemeteries. It was built in the 1800s when Brooklyn was a rural area and is the resting place of all kinds of famous writers and, artists, and leaders. I was touched to see Robin holding a teddy bear as she and Emma walked through the cemetery.
I went to the Greenwood Cemetery several times when I lived in New York City; it is a beautiful and haunting place. It’s one of the largest cemeteries in America. The photo of Robin was touching; it says so much about curiosity and childhood, and the beautiful history of America.
I can only wonder what a seven-year-old would make of that evocative place. The Teddy bear says it all.
Emma has done a fantastic job of taking Robin all over New York; she and her family are passionate New Yorkers and hope never to leave the city. I was thinking about how strange the farm must seem to Robin and how curious our lives are here.
I wanted to live in Brooklyn when Emma was born, but it didn’t work out for us. I never quite took to living in New Jersey and realized painfully that I needed to leave. The picture was moving for me, a bit sad. Emma is a master of photo composition.
I lived in Brooklyn for the first 7 years of my life. But I had never heard of Green-Wood Cemetery. Brooklyn is an amazing historical place. I’m first learning about it.
Very nice. Nothing like that here in Phoenix.
That red! Fantastic picture of Young Life with Bear, and seasonal arboreal change, among monuments to spent lives of note – whether written or musical.
Such a beautiful photo – those trees! And a sweet little girl who is much loved.
Stunning photo, suitable for framing! She’s so stinkin’ cute!
