Old and in the way

Out and about today, I found a curious old cemetery (obviously abandoned, but dating back to the Colonial period) abutting a school. The gravestones are mostly illegible with many of them broken, and a couple of the above-ground crypts have been vandalized and emptied by ghoulyard brats. The interplay between the school buses and the graves intrigued me, so I took a couple of photos.

Here's one side of a now-pointless wall, which no longer encloses the cemetery, but which no one has bothered to tear down:

And here's another view of the buses from the graves:

No one has any business being in such a place on a rainy Saturday . . .
