Ben Franklin and the Gingkos -

      No not a rock band, but certainly concerning stones -

 

                  the historic graveyard on Christ Church Burial Ground in the heart of Philadelphia.

                  Tourists stop by on Second Street - to visit Ben.

                Once inside the gates, there's a mystery and a peace in these tattered stones ...

                Here and there, a flag flickers...

  

                                 Four signers of the Declaration of Independence are also buried here.
.

                                                                 Among the urns and the slabs....

                                                 it's almost like standing in an Edward Gorey cartoon.
