Old cemetery...


... is much like an abandoned playground - nobody comes to see the players and the players themselves are also long gone. The idea of keeping the memory of the dead alive through erecting tomb stones and obelisks and similar has not really appealed to me, ever. But as the cemeteries are here and here to stay for at least a little while longer, I reserve the right to prefer the old ones... Ones where names have been scrubbed off by the weather and passing of time, where grass grows high and trees cast shade on crosses, both standing and felled. Ones where nobody remembers anybody and where all you have left is the wonderful confirmation of the perpetual change that sweeps through us all. Smile inevitably follows :)
