Artist's Comments

A headstone carved in the classic gothic manner. Don't see those much anymore... ::sigh::

Artist's Rant: Honestly, I know this is a decent picture, but folks have been adding this piece like nobody's business. I have many other cemetery pictures that I would consider better.

If you like this piece, please check out the rest of my gallery. PLEASE.

Nice, it looks creepy, yet also pretty mysterious.
:iconfortytwoblades:
Thankyou. I used to play in that cemetary all the time when I was very little, so it's not too creepy for me, but it is a mysterious place, just as you say. :-)

Beautiful photograph. The lighting is great.

I love the setting. Brings me back to being a kid wandering the cemetery next door for boredom. It is rare to see those types of headstones (especially around here). The main problem, from what I've seen, is that many of those stones are too thin and they erode quickly in the brutal climate up around Minnesota and Wisconsin. After about two hundred years they just turn to dust and topple over, names erased, dates lost.

I've seen many interesting headstones in my wanders. Best I've seen is a cemetery in Ohio where the person built an obelisk with at the top a stone recliner built where the tip would be. I just had this overwhelming sense to climb it and sit up there but figured finding a way to climb a smooth stone surface thirty some feet up would be difficult. Plus I think the owner might still be sitting there, in spirit, watching over the road nearby.

The doctor keeps telling me that knives are not suppose to stick in you like that, but I tell him he's never enjoyed the thrilling world of razorblade diving at the rust pit.

Good Morning, dearly beloved.
We are gathered here today to watch
two people we know make a big mistake.
They'll stand up at the alter solemnly swear "I do"
And say they'll be together forever.
Until they find somebody new.
:iconfortytwoblades:
Thank you! I aim to please.

I really like this piece, the contrasts and lighting are just perfect and graveyards are a favored theme...*smile*

If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

Why is it considered necessary to nail down the lid of a coffin?
