Driving home from work at 7:30 am this morning (I work as a night clerk at a hotel) and saw this new memorial display. I paused and after a moment took an image and later looked up on line to learn that an 18 year old child really had been riding a motorcycle when an SUV pulled out in front of him at this intersection a couple of days previously. He did not survive the conversation.

Very sensitively composed. Congratulations! Taken from a discreet distance, yet not too distant. Also selective use of a wide angle (which lens was it? My guess is 28 or 35) which adds dimension to the overall image.
My first thought was - i could be in the Melbourne General Cemetery, very similar...

I particularly like this one, but like so many things in my life, I don't really know or understand why. To me there is something pleasantly, well, ethereal about it. Very minimalist also, which I especially enjoy. In all, superbly well done. Presto!

Thank you 😊
I took these pictures before Covid, it is the first of November in Poland. It is All Saints day. People visit, clean and decorate the graves. I have a few more here on another old thread.

Funeral chapel at the old city cemetery in my home town. I was on the way home from work, early morning, tired, but knew I had to try the image. I didn't think it would work but wouldn't forgive myself if I didn't try it. To my pleasant surprise, the Nikkor af 28-105mm f3.5-4.5 D managed the flare from the head on sun wonderfully.
Even though they are hundreds of miles and years apart, could I make my survivors hold my funeral here and then bury my cremains among the long grass and dandelions up thread?
Best of all worlds... Death is out there patiently waiting for us all. So? In 1982 I left for the US Army expecting to die in WWIII. Every day since has been a blessing.

Another gentle reminder of death in the early morning sunlight on a summer day.
On the right, a gay couple who are able to be together forever.
On the left, a child gone much too young.
In the middle, a WWII vet and his wife.
A microcosm of who we humans are.
