Welcome to the Greenwood Cemetery in Red Cliff, Colorado.
My interest and intrigue with cemeteries began at an earlier age due to my mother’s influence. As a young teen, our family took a road trip to Bodie and my fascination with cemeteries began during that adventure. I try to make it a point to visit cemeteries when I travel. I get to meet the permanent residents at the cemeteries as well as absorb a bit of the town’s history. The Greenwood Cemetery images were taken in February of 2013 while visiting Red Cliff, Colorado. The town was founded in 1879 during the Colorado Silver Boom by miners from Leadville who came over Tennessee Pass scouting for better prospects. I used an iPhone S3 and processed the images with the 'Iris Photo Suite.' It is my hope that the antiquarian effect of the digital app enhances the personality and history of Greenwood.
