Pretty place, though it's strange to me that a cemetery would be next to a river like that. If it flooded, there would be coffins and other yucky stuff floating down stream.

Actually, it's man-made... And the coffins can't get out with 6 feet of soil, and in some cases, concrete. All safe!

In Japan, we turn many rivers into concrete tubes - we still get flooding sometimes and levies still break. Typhoon season is a messy time.

I live next to Lake Erie, so all the rivers flow into the lake most of the time. The rare occurances of flooding that do happen usually occur about 25 km. to the south, along some of the rivers down there. The worst thing we get is the Lake Effect Snow. A couple years ago, one part of my city even got 14 feet of snow, or about 4.7 meters.
