A blue mood... ? Looking up worriedly at a Blue Moon ?
I love dropping by to see what you will do with the theme. That is an interesting headstone. The mind can take the expression on her face in many directions. Nice work.
What a lovely take on the blue theme, so original it makes me cringe at what I posted!! How nice to learn something with the photo too, thank you so much for sharing it.
I would love to visit some of the world's older cemeteries. We in the US get excited if we find one over 100 years old. I can't imagine what it would be like to see the art work displayed in graveyards. Thanks for yet again, another great shot. ~~~Blessings~~~
that's some shot, jams! kind of spooky in a certain way too. must be the halloween thingmajig around. lol thanks for stopping by. hey, any idea who this person was?

Looks like it has survived many a blue moon or something.
Excellent for the theme, and spooky holiday! Have a great weekend Jams!
That's a beautiful choice for the blue theme. Happy weekend.
How's your shoulder? I did my back, but it's settling down. Oh dear - can't do much housework - what a shame!
My digital scrapbook place has been talking about that cemetery in your "blue" post! What a coincidence! :)
I didn't have to look very far for blue this week. Only as far as, who is that sitting on the pool table?
She used to model for Picasso during his Blue Period... ?
THanks everyone. Haha Aileni!
The wall should have been white but turned blue because the person feels blue?
So many possibilities :)
Oh I love cemeteries. You have inspired me to visit ours and try taking some photos.
NICE PHOTO JAMS
It's going to be too much of a whizzy weekend to join in this week but I can see you've done some whizzing about of your own.
Best wishes
What this blue art wants to bring the message of?
This is really wonderful!
Hauntingly "Blue"tiful!
Wow, what a cool and moody blue photo. I love the texture of this one.
Love the "Picasso" comment too, LOL.
Thanks for visiting mine and have a great weekend!
Wow this looks really nice. It is a carving or a painting? I couldn't differentiate it.
Very ghostly. And sad looking -- which I guess is appropriate seeing as your photo is of something in a cemetery!
I thinking you are stretching it again Jams, but it is a very interesting photo and subject. Have a great weekend.
That's really interesting - I love the detail here.
Please stop by if you get the chance - I'm "Blue" on so many different levels this week!

It gives me the blues...
Great shot - that face looks blue, both literally and figuratively. Have a lovely weekend!
Even the statue appears to be mourning.
Love the detail in this shot! I've been to Paris but never made it to Pere Lachaise. Someday..

I am writing this comment, listening to "Bela Lugosi". Lovely picture, awesome piece of music. They go together well Jams! Enjoy your weekend!
I love dropping by to see what you will do with the theme. That is an interesting headstone. The mind can take the expression on her face in many directions. Nice work.
It could be a man called Peter...
Nice entry for this weeks theme. These kind of "sculptures" always have a story. Wonder what this one's is. Haha think I'll go along with Aileni! LOL
Beautiful!
Nice blue-mood pic! :)
Happy weekend Jams!
Great blue capture. There is character there. They captured the eyes beautifully.

I think of all the "blue" photos I've seen today, this is the most arresting. Great shot!
Very interesting!
I love the details in this! Great shot for the blue theme!
Magnificent!

amazing shot... I love how it turned out
Interesting photo. Is it a painting or a sculpture? I could stare at it for hours. I wonder what she is thinking? Great choice for this week's theme!!
Thanks everyone. The detail is from teh Belfort memorial, a battle of teh Franco Prussian War. In reality it is more of a turqoise colour
What a terrific image! Wonderful choice for The Hunt this week! Nice pick for our "blue" theme.
Amazing photo. Well done! Mine's rather silly in comparison! LOL
Great choice for blue. There are some awesome things in old cemetaries...
Great picture! Your WW and PH posts have been just fantastic lately...
Thanks for dropping by.
Love the cool, blue mood of this dramatic shot. An eXcellent piece of work, Jams.
Chuckling over the clever comments too.
Lovely blue tint and interesting subject, Jams.
Lovely smokey, aged blue tone! Intriguing image!
Very atmospheric and on topic too. Very good Jams.
He looks quite blue. A great choice for the theme.
Wow! Excellent choice... Is it blue up close? Sure looks a bit blue... I love how the sculptor was able to put emotion into his work.
that's some shot, jams! kind of spooky in a certain way too. must be the halloween thingmajig around. lol thanks for stopping by. hey, any idea who this person was?
