Images from Symonds Street Cemetery

Aucklands Oldest Cemetery in Symonds Street.
While out and about with my two photography Buddies Pam and Janice... The theme being "OLD",
It was rather sad to see the vandalism, and the unkept graves.

Dear Dawn,

Just recording that I have downloaded 4 gravestone pictures from your collection as you said I could. They now have 2007 photo courtesy Dayn McKenzie-Wykes across the bottom of each photo and will be combined with my collection of around 1000 gravestones from the old Symonds Street Cemetery. I thank you very much as these are changes since I was last in the area.

Dear Dawn,
I am fascinated by several of your gravestone images. I have spent virtually years, on and off, in the various cemeteries there and recorded everything I could find. However, it is now nearly 10 years since I visited and I see several stones not known to me. I wondered whether I might be able to download and use them while they remain acknowledged as your work. Obviously, clearing and repairs are ongoing which is good to know. I await your reply and can let you know precisely the several to which I refer. Many thanks,
Shirley Kendall

Hi Dawn, your photos look good. You even make the old cemetery look not too bad at all!
Cheers
Janice
