A cross that I liked
This one was new to me. I went to feel it and it was metal but it had a funny looking texture, almost like spray-on plaster.
It looked like this man was trying to peek over all of the flowers his relatives had brought
Someone had placed a flower in hand of this sculpture
This sad goddess got painted golden for some reason

Hey, a little birdy (an African grey, actually) told me you were in NYC! Are you back already????

Hi there! The cross in the top pic is adorable. I can’t quite make it out - it looks like a mosaic?

There’s always something splendidly & upliftingly sad about a good cemetry. They do say that the ritual of burying one’s dead is one of the earliest indications of civilisation (well, they would say that, wouldn’t they?).

The statues are moving … the cross lovely. Is it a painting a mirror, metal? Best of all is the flower in a stone hand.

The cross is actually on one of the little chapel tombs. It is hard to see but it has some original stained glass left at the top while the bottom part is empty. Someone had stuck some flowers inside it.
