Tucked away in the middle of nowhere in Belgium is a cemetery which was exclusively used to bury patients from a nearby Asylum. Patients were buried here up until the cemetery was abandoned in the mid 1980s, with almost all the graves marked only with a simple concrete or wrought iron cross carrying a small plaque with the patient's name, date of birth and date of death.

A very peaceful, sobering place to wander round.

Theres always been some thing about cemetery's that gives you a kinda reality check in regards to how fragile we all are.

I guess in your average grave yard when you read the head stones they tell you part of a story as to who people were because people cared.

Looking at this place can see clearly was a place to bury the un well,Poor and seams in most cases forgotn and un cared for.

A cracking set Mookster for some reason reminds me of a war cemetary btw lol

Thanks for the share mate
