I was shocked last night when I realized I had not already posted this. I knew this shot, or something like it, was possible before I ventured into this cemetery and it was the very reason why I went there in the first place. So it’s odd that it took me 6 months to post the shot, especially since I’ve posted about a half dozen different shots from that excursion.
Calvary Cemetery in Queens, as I have previously mentioned, is the most commonly shown cemetery in movies and television. If a movie of TV show is shot in NYC and the characters visit a cemetery, it is more than likely that it is Calvary. And yet they rarely show the Empire State building view. Funny that.

19 Jan 2014I don’t think I’ve ever seen an image of New York City quite like this. It speaks of the Living and the Dead in a powerful way. Great shot, Mark
