I don’t know.. Would you sit on it???

Protestant Cemetry, Rome: "Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter".
Hello Readers.
Have you ever been to a cemetry? Some of you might have felt strange visiting one, others might have felt totally sick (it happend to a friend of mine once).. Others might have felt peaceful. Well, that's exactly how you feel when you visit the Protestant Cemetry in Rome: peaceful.
This Cemetry is officially known as the Non-Catholic Cemetry, or the Englishman's Cemetry (many of its tombs being English).
The earliest burial dates back to 1738, while the most famous graves are those of the english poets John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley.
I've been there quite a few times trying to capture it's particular atmosphere, and fortunately, something helped me.. Giving me just the light I needed.
Enjoy.
