Napier - Wharerangi Cemetery. Opened in 1948 and is mostly dedicated to returned servicemen and women who played a part in the 1st and 2nd world wars. B and I visited here about 5 years ago to pay respects to his grandmother and her husband. This is not the entire cemetery, it's only a small part of it.
Linking up with Through my lens, Tuesday Treasures, My corner of the world, Wordless Wednesday.

That seems like a meaningful visit; places like Wharerangi hold quiet, powerful stories, and it's moving that you took the time to honour them personally.
Hallowed ground indeed.
I always plan to visit family graves when I'm far away, then when I have the opportunity I get sidetracked by other things. Certainly visits to gravesites for my family are just formality - my memories of a person do not reside where they are buried.
So much atmosphere in this photo.

Cemeteries always have such a serene and peaceful atmosphere. This is absolutely no exception.
...military cemeteries need to be huge!
Cemeteries are always interesting to visit. This one has importance.
A moody and lovely image.

this photo shows only a small portion of the cemetery.
I love to visit cemeteries, they are nice and peaceful.
Serenity prevails as it should.
A green and peaceful place to rest and contemplate both the past and the future.
