Smallcombe Vale Cemetery in Bathwick, England, opened in 1861 as a nonconformist burial ground adjacent to the Anglican St. Mary the Virgin Churchyard (opened in 1855). At the time, cemeteries were designed as "gardens for the dead," giving both sites a picturesque, winding layout rather than a rigid grid style. Both cemeteries were closed to new plots in 1988, and ongoing efforts are made by the local community and council to maintain them.

On this day in 1956, artist Jackson Po***ck died. A prominent figure in the Abstract Expressionist movement, Po***ck was known for his 'drip technique,' in which he would lay the canvas horizontally and drip paint onto it from various angles. His work often divided critics, but despite this, Po***ck's legacy lives on.

On 20 July 1944, Claus von Stauffenberg launched a daring assassination attempt on Adolf Hi**er. A German army officer, von Stauffenberg planted a briefcase bomb in a conference room at Hi**er's headquarters. The bomb went off, but Hi**er managed to escape with only minor injuries. He and the other primary conspirators were quickly rounded up and executed by firing squad in the early hours of 21 July. In later decades, he became a symbol of German resistance, and a memorial was established at the Bendlerblock, the site of his ex*****on.

Just up a hill in Chichicastenango, Guatemala, lies one of the most colorful cemeteries. The majority of the town belongs to the indigenous Mayan K'iche' community, and the cemetery reflects their cultural traditions. The graves are decorated in different colors, but the colors are not random. Each color represents the role of the individual and is symbolic of who they were. For example, yellow is associated with grandparents as yellow is linked to the sun and signifies that ancestors continue to protect their families from the afterlife.
