ART 348 Project 1: Place I've never been to: The Cemetery

It was hard for me to think of a place I'd never been to and go there in less then two days and write about it, but there was one thing that I thought of that I pass by but have never gone to and that is the cemetery. The only time I felt like I was in a cemetery was this little memorial site in my hometown with about 10 tombstones in the ground surrounding a flag pole. But I never thought of that as a cemetery. I've never been to big cemetery because all the relatives that I can remember dying were all cremated and burried at sea so I never had a reason to go to a cemetery. So I decided to go to the one here in Ashland and it is quite a morbid place. I feel as if I'm not aloud to speak loudly or I might upset the spirits or something. It was almost "dead" quite (haha) but seriously I felt a little uneasy since I've never really been to a cemetery before. But it was a good experience so now I won't feel all these feelings when I go to it again at some point (hopefully not for a long time though).
