| Attached is the long shot of Gus's grave area. I took this photo standing in the street facing North/Northwest. The mountains just under the clouds are the San Gabriel Mountains. This is the best unobstructed view of the area. Gus's grave is the gray stone in the middle of the picture, between the two greenish headstones. If you walk toward the trees the ground slopes quite steeply downward to another street and level below. Forest Lawn is a Memorial Park and, as you can see, to the back left people come out to sit in the sun on lawn chairs, even quietly picnic beside graves of loved ones. A young woman was sitting just off to my left beside a grave and I aimed the photo this way so as not to intrude on her space. There are often, as today, walkers and runners along the streets inside the cemetery, as it is a peaceful and safe place. I hope this gives you an idea of the area and what a serene area Forest Lawn is. |
