Just out of curiosity, is this a photo of Snagov Monastery, where the alleged tomb of Dracula is?

No, The island is located in the middle of Lago D'Orta (Lake Orta), accessible by ferry from the town of Orta San Giulio. In Northern Italy. It's one of the small lakes located just West of Como, Lago Maggiore, Lago Lugano, etc. Near Milano.
The island is Isola San Giulio - It's the home of an old (very old) Monastery (circa 400 A.D.) and the famous "Walk of Silence".
Today it's a tourist attraction - mainly for Italian tourists - some Germans... but very few Americans (great!)
My wife and I vacationed there in 2016. It's now an active Nunnery. Really cool spot. Here's a close up (I didn't take this pic, but I did take the one I posted previously):

I love photographing old tombstones. This is one of the most poignant tombstones I have ever seen. It looks like a stone a father lifted out of a field and carved the inscription. The way the "C" in Crockett crosses the "t" seems just to epitomize the economy of what was then the back woods of Colonial America. Waxhaw Presbyterian Church, organized 1755.

Poor Maggie may have died from one of those childhood diseases back then. Diphtheria? Smallpox? Measles? Things which science and vaccines have tried to eradicate over the Centuries.
