Gosh...now where did I leave that coffin?

The symbol looks suspiciously like the "Chi-Rho" which was a sort of underground symbol for the very early church. It's made from superimposing the fist two letters of Christ's name in Latin. (XP)

it's hard to imagine that she could look any worse now than when the portrait was made...but she probably does.

and when they opened the locked trunk, the found the bride that had disappeared so many years ago.....and she was still clutching the rose.

wonder what color stain I would make?

This looks like the sort of chair that has an unnatural weight to it, like it wouldn't move from that particular spot no matter how hard you tried...

guitorman-
If it's going to be interred in stone, then it may not necessarily matter.

seeing their living face lets them live on, you know. Even if their kin has forgotten them, we will now remember.

This is one of my favorites locations! Excellent photos, since there are plastic flowers I would guess that the place has been ignored since about the 1950's, and that is sad. Your photos really are amazing in this location, I think you must have felt the aura of the location as well.

This last photo is beautiful as well, great parting shot.

Beautiful photo, really love the B & W.

I don't understand why or even how you abandon a cemetary. This is so sad and you Mr. Motts have beautifully captured that saddness in your photos.

So sad and yet beautiful. Isn't it a shame all those people are long forgotten and ignored? This photo has a thousand words.

I must tag along with you, need a gopher, errand girl, slave? lmao.

Thank goodness you left those lights off, what a great shot!

This is AMAZING.
What a place to find !

Fantastic. Thanks very much for posting this.

I think those flowers are fabric. Looks like the stems are wire...

Amazing shot though. Are they lilies etched into the top corners of the slate?
