On the tour of Saint John, New Brunswick, we were taken to the center of the city to go to the Old City Market. However, on the map there was mention of an old cemetery just down the block from the market. As such, my husband and I quickly walked through the market and then headed down the block to the
Old Loyalist Burial Grounds.

The oldest cemetery in Saint John, it was founded in 1783 and closed in 1848. There were a lot of people walking through it on their way to class or work.

Nice picture. "Heaven" is so ethereal with the clouds/fog. Good shot!
