Cheers @lizelle it is rather niche subject,I enjoy walking through the lives of others, trying mentally to put my self in their time imagine the good and bad times in their former abodes, I enjoy the history behind it all, trying to research a bit about the places and people who were there.
The only run in I have had really is back in 2021, when I was road tripping Estonia, an old abandoned village called Rabasaare, and I stumbled in to a full on military war game exercise, LOL they were more surprised than me!
Graveyards are brilliant, I get the same emotions as you, living their lives in my head.
Have a great week ahead.
Haha, stumbling on that was a find of a different kind!
It must be fascinating researching and exploring all these old abandoned places.
There's a large cemetery not far from where we live, and my Mom and I strolled through there many years ago. So, our suburb was 'whites only' back in the Apartheid days. Yet, we only saw the names of black South Africans and a memorial dedicated to black South African men who played a role in the Second World War; that history was hidden from us!
Unfortunately, these days, people get robbed when they go to cemeteries alone to pay their respects, so you simply stay away or go in a group!
Back to the living, enjoy the rest of your week @grindle 🤗
Gosh, that is bad visiting a graveyard and getting robbed, I have visited cemeteries, some of them quite remote, all over the world on my own and never even considered personal crime.
