Obviously, cemeteries tell some sad stories. Out at Waverley some of these stories are told in white marble.
The top pic is a detail from a lifesize rendition of a young woman; someone's daughter/sister/friend who was loved very much and missed dearly. It's funny, but the aspect about this sculpture which strikes me are the hands; amazingly done.
On the bottom we have 'Roslyn', a young bride taken away in her mid twenties during the 1920s. Her husband hasn't left much to the imagination in choosing this pose to imortalise her memory. A heady decade indeed.
these shots from your last few posts are beautiful marty - did you take them all?
Yes, I don't take enough these days. It would be good to get into it again.
