Covering some 474 acres and containing more than 600,000 graves, Green-Wood is New York's great Victorian "City of the Dead". Greenwood Cemetery was commissioned in 1838 as the first nonsectarian cemetery in the City of Brooklyn. It has amazing Victorian gatehouses, winding paths, reflecting lakes, and a majestic view of New York harbor. In fact, I will be purchasing a new camera and The Greenwood Cemetery will be on the top of my list as a place for taking pics to use in some "goth" artwork. Quite interestingly, it is the final resting place for many famous (and infamous) people.
