Wat een locatie!!
Ben er meerdere keren geweest, maar de herfstperiode is de ideale periode met de prachtige kleuren die er zijn van de bladeren aan de bomen en op de grond die een nog meer unieke sfeer creëren.
Ik was er die morgen in november heel alleen. Het was zeer mistig toen ik opstond en ik dacht ja dit moet zalig zijn om nu foto's te nemen op een begraafplaats. Dus vlug vertrokken en op enkele minuten stond ik op de plaats met de skull. Helaas was de mist al zo goed als weg, maar toch kon je er nog prachtige foto's nemen.
Die ochtend heb ik zelf een tweede skull gevonden op dezelfde begraafplaats.
Begraafplaatsen geven mij altijd een creepy feeling, zeker als vrouw alleen op een mistige morgen!!!
Zeker aan te raden als je hiervan houdt!!!!
Ondertussen een zeer gekende in de urbexwereld!!!!
Deze plaats bezoek ik zeker nog een paar keer in de komende periode!!

Guten Tag,
Ich habe den Friedhof hauptsächlich wegen des Totenkopf-Grabes aufgesucht. Der Rest des Friedhofs ist auf jeden Fall einen Spaziergang wert.
Sehr eindrucksvoller, gewaltiger Ort, mit verwucherten, vergessenen und verfallenen Grabsteinen und Gruften.
Im Totenkopfgrab wurde Antoine Michel Wemaer & Marie-Alide Heene aus Brügge, Belgien. Er wurde am 16. Februar 1763 geboren und heiratete 1800 Marie. Am 24. November 1837 starb er und wurde mit seiner Frau auf dem Burges-Friedhof in Belgien begraben. Der Schädel und die gekreuzten Knochen bedeuten Sterblichkeit und Tod, was in dieser Zeit sehr häufig vorkommt.
Fazit: Zwar kein Lost Place, aber auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.

Niet echt een urbexplek maar daarom niet minder interessant. Veel collega urbexer gaan voor het graf met de schedel maar er is nog zoveel meer te zien.
Al met al is dit een zeer indrukwekkende begraafplaats.

Kiss from a rose on a (skull) grave.
'Skull graveyard' is the urbex name for an ancient grave at an old part of the cemetery of one of Belgium's best known historic cities. So actually, this is a legal visit.
The gravestone itself has the macabre sculpture of a skull on top of it.
The whole stone is covered with thick layers of mosses, collected through the decades.
The couple that lies underneath rests in peace for over 170 years now.
Part of the experience is to go find the exact location of the grave, a search that's not boring at all because the setting is beautiful, like you're walking on a movie set of a spooky movie.
I specially waited until autumn to maximize the atmosphere.
About the staging:
I've seen hundreds of pictures of the grave and I wanted to add something.
I was inspired by the romantic classic song 'Kiss from a rose' by Seal.
I know what I did is a controversial act and I also was confronted with some very critical comments like 'let the dead rest in peace', 'I hope you cleaned up your mess' and 'this is extremely ugly'.
Of course the big majority understands my poetic meanings and loves it, I hope you do the same.
I can comfort all of you that I took away every single rose petal before I left.
