First thing I noticed was the arch. Must have been beautiful long ago. I am a confirmed cemetery wonderer and the thought of all the graves on this island makes me sad. No one can bring flowers or visit.
Welcome back Mama of five. So sorry to hear about your son and the rest of your family.
And Motts, I feel like I know you from years of seeing sites thru your eyes and apparently the eyes of your good friend. Condolences on your loss and may he RIP.

The locker as a symbol fits the overall theme of the island, what better cypher for the warehoused humanity in the ground.

The images here were at times very thought-provoking and strong. Yet, a great testimony to a past we would never of known except through your well told history, keen eye, and camera lens. We appreciate you Mr. Motts and again, so very sorry for the loss of your dear friend.
