  1. Quite unique at the cemetery. I've got a feeling it's the tomb of a musician.
    Happy TW/WW! :)

    That's very beautiful. Great shot too. I'm amazed at how you can see his muscles or I think that's muscle.

  10. Very cool in a creepy, Gothic sort of way. B&W was definitely the right choice. I can imagine this on a cornice of an old cathedral or opera house too.
    Very compelling.

    This is a novel choice for Wordless Wednesday, Jams. That's quite a chubby cherub.

  43. Nice shot. I agree with Sandy about the sad quality it has. I love wandering through cemetery and grave sites and taking pictures.
