Green-wood Monuments

Sherry Felix4 Comments

Minerva is waving at the Statue of Liberty in the first photograph.

The second is “The Greeter,” a piece by American sculptor John Coleman. “The Greeter” is a depiction of a painting by George Catlin In 1832 of the Chief of the Hidatsa Indians, Black Moccasin.

The last two are about Margaret Cochran Corbin (read her story). I portrayed her in costume when I was an Urban Park Ranger in Inwood Hill Park. This was for a reenactment we did during Halloween.

A bronze statue of a woman with flowing robes, standing with one hand raised in a gesture, viewed from the back. The statue is set against a gray, overcast sky, surrounded by bare trees.

The magnolias were out in Green-wood Cemetery. Any time I add something to my photographs I will tell you. In the last image I used a sky replacement.

Green-Wood Cemetery on a rainy and cloudy spring day. I used sky replacements on the first three for more interesting gray skies. The tree stump in the last two is very sculptural. I would like it for my grave marker.

Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY has hundreds of doors to the mausoleums. Next to the Callery pear tree is a gate to the afterlife. The last image shows the Manhattan skyline at the horizon.
