Earlier I was out driving after looking at some flats and made a wrong turn, and ended up discovering the cemetary behing the speedway - I've always had a thing for cemetaries; especially the older gothic looking ones. Theres something about the intricate stone work people used to head up their graves that just make me star in awe.
Overlooking the sea of tombs was somewhat sureal, so much death, so much loss, and yet - so much love.
At the bottom theres a grace freshly wrapped up in a plastic enclosure decorated with "Happy Birthday" signs I found toys, teddy bears, bags of lollies, and photos. The grave appeared to be for a 5 year old boy who died last year. :(
I've also uploaded a photo-manipulated version of one of the Angels to
deviantart.com.
