Green-Wood Cemetery "Nightfall: Time Flies"

The following is not what I typically post on this blog. I just attended Green-Wood Cemetery's annual "Nightfall" event. It defies a simple description, but is an absolutely amazing event, so had to share. I took a lot of photos and created a short video of some of the highlights. This is the description from Green-Wood's website:

Amidst the serene backdrop of weathered gravestones and trees whispering in the wind, this year’s Nightfall invites you to reflect on the fleeting nature of time itself. As dusk settles and darkness fills the cemetery, explore tales of lives lived and moments lost, revel in nostalgia for a grand past, and grieve for all the things that could have been.

Join us for an evening where memories intertwine with the present, reminding us that in this sacred space, the essence of time is both ephemeral and eternal.

Set across Green-Wood’s storied grounds, Nightfall features music and moving images curated by Death of Classical and Rooftop Films; spectacle provided by the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, and storytelling and show and tell by Morbid Anatomy. Kings County Brewers Collective is the official beverage sponsor for Nightfall.
