In a small cemetary in town, this little boy's grave stands apart from the others. He was only 7 when he died over 200 years ago, but a sorriful angel still looks over the place where he lies. In this graveyard there are a painfully large number of children's stones--a reminder of how fortunate we are that for us, a child's death is a rare event. This picture was taken with the iPhone about two weeks ago (so it's not one of my 365 photos) and processed in SwankoLab.Thursday, April 29, 2010

A somber reminder of how lucky and blessed we are today! I can't imagine the pain of those parents...very emotional piece!
ReplyDeleteRemarkably well preserved headstone after all these years, isn't it? I like the tones you gave the scene - somber yet sort of warm...

I enjoy taking photos in cemeteries. So peaceful. These headstones are sad, but they make you pause and think for a moment. Beautiful hillside.
