Mourning....

... is still a main theme in my pictures. Mainly female statues are displayed when it comes to mourn and grief for the dead.

These pictures here were taken in Hannover, Lisboa and Budapest and they make clear that the common concept of making the mourning visible is indeed something common throughout europe.

Jesus-Special in Riemsloh

This week it's a Jesus-Special. The Cemetery in Riemsloh was at first glance another dull and boring cemetery, but a closer look was worth the effort...

Strangely enough these pictures all show Jesus or a part of him. So be assured he died for our sins.

Thanks, Jesus!

BTW: This picture is a closeup of the following.

I'm willing to believe that this fly will rot and burn in hell! I really loathe disrespectful insects...

Flowers

Theses flowers are already dead or left to die on the fresh grave.

These pictures are a bit different to the others because they are very near to the Dead lying there. The grief is still strong and near as opposed to the old graves i usually show.

However the atmosphere is even stronger due to this lack of distance.

All pictures were taken on cemeteries in Germany.

Decay

Utterly forgotten graves... Apparently nobody's responsible for them..

The last Image is from the Cemetery in Brugge; the others were made in Budapest.
