Wow, you are so lucky!! We are getting more violence here in Canada, especially here in Toronto (sign of the times) - however, when I compare the crime rate anywhere esle in the world, we are still extremely fortunate here. Generally, we can walk the streets at all hours of the day and night, everyday - but there are a "few" pockets that even I will not go during the night. When I talk about freedom - I gernerally mean the freedom to go anywhere as I please in my country without being harassed like this. BTW - love your "dangerous, almost being killed" shot! And are those berries edible?

I can so relate! I was taking pictures with my daughter in an abandoned lot of animal statues (don't ask) when suddenly I see this whole van-load of angry looking men headed straight at me. I was terrified. Picked up my 2 year old and started heading back to my car, which was like a mile away (it seemed.) When I turned around I saw them all sitting on the rhino laughing and taking pictures of each other.

In fact, I posted a picture of it today since you reminded me of it!

Ya, some people just don't like to be captured. Once you caught their attention, the natural expression gone. My experience,so far, is not as bad as your.. ;)

Beautiful shot, especially with the berries! And about your story, I was scared just reading it...:D

I've never taken a shot under pressure like that, nor have I been in such a situation. I was watching a movie on a friend next to the Rio Grande, and a car full of drug dealers came by looking for something, but they seemed content to leave us alone, we were just leaving. It seems like the graveyard is a dangerous place to be. The graveyard here is just a place for drunks and stray dogs to hang out. But great picture despite everything. Next time I'd pack a shotgun, it *is* Texas after all isn't it. :-D

There are indeed some great photos to be found in many older, established cemeteries. Be careful and be aware of the fact that some families may consider your photos a invasion of their privacy. Have fun with life!

This is a great shot because you kept your camera, and that scumbag didn't lay a finger on you.

I'm giving the guy the benefit of doubt ~ he could have been coming to tell me that it wasn't a good place to be. Whatever his intent, he alerted me to the fact that I had foolishly put myself into a dangerous position!

Eerie story. Its funny how our mind behaves. For most people (me included) fear would be the first thought what comes to mind given the circumstances (place, warning about the people there, the time), but in retrospect we do end up wondering if we were right in thinking like that at the time.
