Reading for eternity. Nice thought.

My housemate has a thing for cemetery art, I'll show her your stuff. This has really been excellent work you have done here.

@MontereyJohn: Thank you, John! This is the last of the photos I consider worth posting. We didn't stay in the cemetery very long. I'll have to either go back or go across the river to visit another cemetery that intrigues me, sometime soon. I'm glad you enjoyed this little series!

Fabulous shot so soft and I love the colouring. It is a nice thought to read for eternity

@jamesy: Thanks, Debbie. Too bad about the "can't take it with you" bit, though, because I have one heck of a huge personal library. :)

No kidding, wow this is wonderful Booky and how appropriate ;)

Beautiful, Nancy! I'd love this in my backyard.

@Lesley: It would look lovely in a backyard, wouldn't it? I wonder if the deceased was a reader or that statue was in some other way symbolic.

The statuary is absolutely gorgeous ... and this is a good capture!

@Judy: The vast majority of the statues in this cemetery are urns, so those few that are angelic or human form really stand out and I think they're absolutely magnificent, don't you? Thank you, Judy!
