Evergreen Cemetery is managed by the City of Gainesville’s Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Department and falls under my area of responsibility. In my role I have grown to love “This Wondrous Place”- its history, its physical beauty and its great serenity. These photos attempt to capture the many moods of the site… something that can only truly be experienced in person. They were taken during different visits, at different times … as the morning sun broke through the stately trees, on a windy, overcast afternoon and on a spring day when the azaleas were in riotous bloom.
