was this the grave of a sailor?
Beautiful. No more needs be said...
In the Victorian and Edwardian eras an anchor (usually with a chain) was used to represent one of the three cardinal virtues of Christianity - hope. The other two were faith (cross) and love/charity (heart).
that is why we love you so much Lynne, you teach us things. I never would have known that in a million years...thank you! :)
I absolutely lubs you Lynnie!
Nice composition, and beautiful balance of black, white, and grey.
Beautiful shot.
breathtaking
Its a shame what ppl leave behind
Might I suggest a visit to Mt. Olivet cemetary in TN?
beautiful work and i love that title!
The cemetery down the street from me(North Cedar Hill) has a stone in it (yes thats' right!) with various family members interred and their names inscribed.
However,on one side,a member "lost at sea' is inscribed.He was a captain,and he was 47 years old.(life expectency in those days)
This would be known as a CENOTAPH, as he(his remains) is not there.
My husband is a former Marine who transfered into the Navy. This would be his monument too.
a remarkable shot
I agree with monkey that is a remarkable shot!
Beautiful shot. Congrats to the awsome person who took it.
Wow. I can honestly say for the first time in my life i'm speechless at your beautiful work!
Thank you for sharing.
