An unusual urban walk
So we took an early morning tour of one of the local cemeteries here today. Cian had been asking questions about it whenever we walked past, so we decided it'd be different to go and check it out.
The Lone Fir cemetery is famous for having an almost secret arboretum within its grounds -- so we had a guided tour of the cemetery and its trees - hosted by Portland parks and Rec.
It seems families planted trees beside graves in memory of their loved ones, so the cemetery has become a haven for maples, douglas firs, ginko trees, dogwoods, oaks etc. It was a really different and fun way to pass the morning.
Highly recommended.
Here are some of the shots:
