Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Carvings, Sculptures and Statues
This morning I went for a walk in one of Graftons oldest cemeteries. Over the years there has been vandalism which saddens me
I walked
among headstones
toppled
fractured stones
names lost
lives departed
fallen
forgotten
a century ago
no one remembers
no one cares
they lay
undisturbed
until now
fractured stones
toppled
headstones.

Sad to hear Brian. Graveyards are such peaceful places and full of stories of one kind or another.

Would be wonderful to hear of the stories of the folk who first settled here both First Nation and the other nations.
A sad but happy stroll never the less

I am so happy you like my writing Susan. Reading the headstones is one way of wanting to know more in some cases 🙂

I follow a person on Instagram who cleans/scours off very old headstones. Remarkable to see them return to “life” and be able to read about the person. Always sad to see broken and toppled headstones

I think the moss and lichens add something to some of the sandstone headstones.
