My wife and I were at Burial Hill Cemetery in Plymouth recently to listen to a presentation on ground-penetrating radar. Sponsored by the
Friends of Burial Hill, which is loosely affiliated with the Association of Gravestone Studies of which I am a member, it was a gorgeous day to be standing on an incredible overlook to Plymouth Bay.
And, as always this cemetery presents wonderful opportunities for photography.

The presentation by Craig Chartier of Plymouth Archaeological Rediscovery Project was fascinating and illuminating but sadly we had to leave early so we could grab a bite of lunch before the day got away from us.
