Lychakiv Cemetery is a famous and historic cemetery in Lviv, Ukraine. Since its creation in 1787 as Łyczakowski Cemetery, it has been the main necropolis of the city's inteligentsia, middle and upper classes. Initially the cemetery was located on several hills in the borough of Lychakiv, following the imperial Austro-Hungarian edict ordering that all cemeteries be moved outside of the city limits. The original project was prepared by Karol Bauer, the head of the Lviv University botanical garden.

This is a truly beautiful shot! I love the age of the statue and the somewhat recognizable shapes of other tomstones in the back. The fact that this statue has cobwebs on it really help to add to it! The colors of the image are very nice and you couldn't have picked a better time of day I think to take such a shot (short of sunrise or sunset, but thats beside the point). Anyway, I'm not sure what you used to capture this picture but you did it well and this is easily one of my favorite photography additions to Codename Comments! Thank your for the submission!
This photograph is great because unlike most photographs of cemeteries it does not try to sell the "creepy" image but the peaceful rest of those who have gone before us. Also the composition is well planned and the use of depth of field is perfect. Great work!
