One of America’s first rural cemeteries, Green-Wood was founded in 1838. Today it is in the middle of Brooklyn -- 478 acres of tombs, hills, valleys, sculpture, greenery, and history. Its 560,000 permanent residents include Leonard Bernstein, Boss Tweed, Louis Comfort Tiffany, and Horace Greeley. In 1776, Battle of Long Island was fought among its hills. I made this image just as the overhead branches were turning color. The orange canopy of dying leaves provides both a colorful and symbolic context to the ornate splendor of the Victorian tombs arrayed below it.
