Bronte


Waverley cemetery is much loved (and photographed) for its location along the cliff’s edge.  The burial grounds are also hard up against some of the most sought after residential properties in Sydney.  Life, death and real estate - welcome to the emerald city.



Life is beautiful...

Always a challenge getting a cemetery shot without the cliches

Fascinating placement of the statues against the houses across the road. Lovely colour palette you are using here.

It's not the place I would choose for an apartment, but lovely images.

"life, death and real estate - welcome to the emerald city"; i think that's the best one-liner i've read about sydney ever! well done em. apparently waverley cemetary is nearly chockers, it's as expensive to buy a plot there as it is an apartment across the road. what an easy send off for the rich!

Hello Petra - I missed your comment, until now. I would put money on it being as expensive to be buried here as to live next door. Makes noooo sense
