    You can clearly see the Art-Deco style of the Manila North Cemetery.

    Whereas the Manila American Memorial Cemetery is more Academic or Federation style.


    I love that cemetery dearly though. Since it's location is awesome. It's constructed as a circular field of verdant green.



    Surrounded by skyscrapers on all sides.




    Furthermore, it's composition is awesome: it's surrounded by War-Heroes, Soldiers and Martyrs taken from from several nations of the Allied Forces but mostly made-up of Americans though but you can still spot the occasional, Aussie, Filipino, Brit, Chinese, Mexican or French among them.

    Very hallowed grounds and simultaneously the central green lungs of the up and coming Bonifacio Global City built around that Cemetery.

    There are also war maps pertaining to the World Allied Campaign in the Atlantic Side (Europe, North Africa and Middle East)



    As well as campaign maps in the Pacific Side (Asia [East, Southeast and South], Australia and Oceania)


    Better than some other cities and the cemeteries in that it also has better history and made up of more heroic people too.

    Names of the Allied War Dead


    With some decorated heroes seen in some.

    I like the American Cemetery in the Netherlands.





    The Doves that intersect across the statue give in an illusion of real flight. Great artwork and huge imagination for the Dutch sculptors.

    I liked how they used living flowers over the graves. It's such a hassle to procure cut flowers for your loved ones and then have it rot the following day.

    At least there, there shall be a perpetual bloom in their honor.

    In the colours of the national flag too. (red, white and blue. And orange being a national colour because it's a symbol for the monarchy). Originally the Ereveld was meant for both Dutch and German victims of the Battle of the Netherlands in 1940 but after the war the Germans were moved to a different cemetery near Ysselsteyn and I think that the Ereveld should become a joint cemetery once more and a symbol for reconciliation.



    Military ceremony during Memorial Day (4 May).

    Novo groblje(New cemetery) in Belgrade. One of the most fascinating places in the city with incredible diversity of styles and symbols. Next to each other, many historical figures found their peace. The cemetery is quite ''multicultural'', ''multireligious'' and ''multiideological'' and you will hopefuly be able to notice it from these pictures.

    Been to Pere Lachaise so I can die a happy man Mount Auburn, Laurel Hill, Lone Fir and Green-Wood look nice, I think.

    Saint Lazarus Cemetery AKA Doina Cemetery (Moldova, Chisinau) the biggest cemetery in Europe.




    What a desolate, ugly place and big as fuck. Been there once and I'm never going back

    Children statues have something ''bizarre'' about them, can't find a good expression.
