Graveyard Art . . .

The depth of humanity expressed and the variety of styles found in graveyard art never fails to astound me. Just the notion of leaving a visible trace long after one has passed on to other planes of energy is a subject full of poetry, and people sometimes reach considerable heights in artistic expressions of that longing to be remembered. This bas relief sculpture of an old woman reading a book with a child really grabbed me, and note the clogs she is wearing with upturned points. The girl, on the other hand, or foot, as it were, seems to be barefoot. . .

Portraits of couples probably torn assunder by war or other calamities speak volumes to me. I just wish I could ask these people to tell me their stories. . .
