Walk through Glendale Cemetery

Walk through Glendale Cemetery

Saturday 31 May
Downtown Akron - 10am - 2 Hours
Akron Photography Group
Marc Braun
Glendale is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was established in 1839 by Dr. J.D. Commins. It has a park-like setting for a cemetery in Akron. The cemetery features a wide variety of architectural styles that draw upon ancient building forms. Mausoleums are modeled after Egyptian, Greek, and Roman temples or Gothic churches. The stately mausoleums and symbolic statues are scattered throughout, honoring prominent citizens of Akron, including politicians, famous industrialists, and Akron socialites.

The Civil War Memorial Chapel, located in Glendale Cemetery, is one of the premier Civil War memorials within the State of Ohio and throughout the United States. The most striking features of the Chapel are its handsome memorial windows. The glass is European rolled cathedral glass imported from Scotland.

We will have the opportunity to explore the Chapel both outside and inside, and then see what interesting architecture and historical markers can be found. You may also come across a wide variety of wildlife that lives in the cemetery. Join me for a walk through historic Akron.


We will look at how composition and light work together to help create great images

    Title or Location: Bathsheba Beach, Barbados
    I was on an island tour of Barbados, and we stopped for lunch at a house serving as a restaurant that had a scenic view. After our lunch we were given less than 15 minutes for looking around and to grab photos. I had seen the boulders and knew I had to have my tripod, so I went to our shuttle grabbed my backpack and tripod. I was going over potential shots in my head. I made it to a cleared area and started setting up my tripod and camera up knowing I didn't have much time. I decided I wanted to

    Title or Location: Tadoba National Park, Maharashtra Infia
    This Tigress took a long swim to cool off from the soaring afternoon heat exceeding 100 degrees. We waited for more than 2 hours to get our vehicle close enough to have a clear shot of her and her three subadults, resting along the water?s edge nearby. The offspring slept and stretched while she kept a keen lookout. Captured in April 2025.

    Title or Location: Bandera Texas
    This ground to sky upward lightning was captured on May 1, 2025 near Bandera Texas using a full frame digital Nikon with a 28mm lens. I had the ISO set to 200 and the aperture at F/9 focused to infinity. It is a 30 second exposure. This was a very lucky shot as I had just moved the camera to view this portion of the sky moments before it happened. Although it looks like the lightning is coming from the ground, it's actually emerging from a tall radio tower about 6 miles out. The image is
