Oakland Cemetery. One of Atlanta’s hidden gems.

Statue in Oakland Cemetery

Oakland Cemetery is one of Atlanta’s first cemeteries. I live about a mile and a half from the Memorial entrance. It’s one of the most beautiful places that I’ve ever been to. Combined with the Downtown Skyline – it’s a really special place. It’s also a great place to practice taking photos.

Here’s a few I’ve taken.

Oakland Cemetery also makes a great place for a run. Either way – you should visit.
