St. John's Baptist Church Cemetery

Virginia Beach, VA
Old Princess Anne County

It must have once stood watch over a rural farm road.  Today the cemetery overlooks the well traveled thoroughfare leading to the municipal complex of the largest city in Virginia.  In order to get pictures of the tombstones nearest the road I had to climb into a ditch.  The alternative was to be struck down by motorists intent on their destination, and not at all appreciative of my photographic task.   The church and neighboring cemetery front Holland Road, just north of its intersection with Princess Anne Road.  A turn to the right on Princess Anne Road and a very short travel down the road leads one into the large complex of buildings, resembling closely a college campus, which is the heartbeat of the City of Virginia Beach.  Cemetery Photographed May 17, 2004.
