These photos were made in a cemetery on the north side of Sycamore, off Georgia Highway 32. Sycamore was incorporated in 1891, and today has a population around 500. The church where the cemetery is located is unmarked, so I'd appreciate any help tracking down its name. Cemetery angels are one of my favorite subjects, and elaborate ones like this are quite rare in South Georgia. They were often chosen to mark the site of babies' or childrens' graves.
