Several weeks ago, on my way home from visiting my daughter in Statesboro, Georgia, I made a point of stopping off at Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon, Georgia. If you have never been, and enjoy the beauty and history of old cemeteries, then you must see it. It's famous for being the burial place of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley of the Allman Brothers Band, whom I worship and adore. I ended up staying over two hours, walking and taking photographs...reading the headstones, trying to read others that were long faded and worn. I circled around what seemed like 5 times trying to find the Allman graves, when thankfully, two men from New York City noticed the dumb look on my face and asked if I was lost. They pointed me in the right direction, having made the pilgrimage themselves. I would have never found it...tucked into a hillside near the Confederate soldier section and near the railroad tracks. It is a beautiful memorial to two very talented people who died way too early. I have uploaded my photos and hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoyed walking around that day, even if I was wandering aimlessly. Have a beautiful Sunday.
