Cemetary

May 10th, 2006 · Posted by Skuds in Life · 3 Comments · Life

Is this page the funniest report of a photographic visit to a cemetary or what?

Nice photos too.

A sample:

Working class kiddy graves are particularly poignant, partly because of the sadness of untimely death but mostly because they are frequently adorned with toys and keepsakes left by a grieving family; teddy bears, model cars, Christmas decorations. The custom doesn’t stretch to adult graves which is just as well, considering what items would be left on mine for example.

    Nobody to thank but also nobody to blame.

    “He was an embittered atheist (the sort of atheist who does not so much disbelieve in God as personally dislike Him)”.
