One of my favorite places in Quebec City is the Mt Herman Cemetery.  It’s an old English cemetery that dates back at least to 1800 and is situated on a heavily forested, rolling hill landscape.  People go to Mt Herman to read, meditate, walk around, have picnics, let their kids see a bit of nature.  Of course, some come for a longer stay, which is the raison d’etre of a cemetery.

Me, I go there to sketch and to enjoy the quiet of the place, and that’s what I was doing about a week ago.  During my time there I did a couple sketches.  Nothing special, and not much to say about them except that both subjects were crafted during the 1860s.  We do live our history here in Quebec.
