Games
Here is the burial site of Henry Chadwick at Green-Wood Cemetery. He is considered the “father of baseball” – having devised many of the rules of the game (including box scorecards, “K” standing for strike, and going extra innings instead of ending in a tie).
His site is cool because it is surrounded by four bases and is visited by many people who leave baseballs in tribute.
Note – the shot below with the four bases is not great from a photography standpoint, but there’s only one way to get all bases in the shot – by climbing on to another gravestone to get enough height to see them all. Shhhhh…..don’t tell.
That’s very cool. But if that’s as fast as he can run he’s going to be dead at the plate. (Sorry. Really, I’m very sorry.)
heh, Judging from the response below, I think you hit a home run with that comment!
Love the remembrance you gave to him on your blog! And I am glad so many people think of him.
As only you would do…hey you gots to do what you gots to do.
Now that is a unique interpretation of the theme! I am still laughing at BillZ’s comment!
Actually that is a really cool memorial…and I love the unique camera angle you shot this at!
LOL! I just spilled my coffee all over myself after reading how you got this unique camera angle shot . . . and then Billz reply 🙂
Very nice and unique tribute. Love the comments too.!!
What a place to find this theme! I think your wonky view is cool.
Really interesting! And a fisheye would get that all in, as well as allowing you a membership in the Fisheye Friday club.
Cool shot…BTW, I think that a lot of the tombstones you’ve pictured look like giant game pieces for chess.
I especially love that mitt. A fisheye would hit all the bases.
