Why should the beautiful die?
Just north of West View, this church was built in 1836, with additions in 1914 and 1936. In the large churchyard are the remains of many early settlers, including some veterans of the Revolutionary War.
Father Pitt decided to make an atmospherically dark and mysterious churchyard picture, but below is a similar shot in brighter light.

Enjoyed both pictures. I have to check this place out – both history and cemetery all in one. I feel a road trip coming on.
It will be worth the trip. Expect to see a number of pictures on the Pittsburgh Cemeteries site soon. Meanwhile, Father Pitt has donated dozens of pictures of the oldest tombstones to Wikimedia Commons.
