Aug 2012: Where a hero lies in eternal rest

Photobucket

While on a bike ride, i was pelting down a road when for some reason I looked up and saw a flash of red on the right, so i pulled in.

A grave of a VC hero.

Brave man indeed. In the corner of this cemetery.

Looking up at the cemetery, its full of very old graves. All of them are forgotten other than this one.

Photobucket

Empty place…and there’s my little ride.

Photobucket

Even the trees look like they are weeping.

Photobucket

77 years of age, born in the 1800’s, what stories would she tell?

Photobucket

And a tree emerging out of a grave.

A crucifix leaning away

Photobucket

A triple grave

Photobucket

A huge angel

Photobucket

Another angel…

Photobucket

I am sure there must be something on top of this pillar…

Photobucket

More crucifixes all over the place

Photobucket

Another view of my little ride..

Photobucket

Was there a storm or something? all these branches?

Photobucket

Another little angel

Photobucket

A grave with an iron gravestone.

Photobucket

Another cross which is leaning against the base, it broke off obviously. You know, I think this graveyard has been vandalised.

Photobucket

Another sad angel

Photobucket

Photobucket

A couple together.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Why is there an isolated black dress shoe here?

Photobucket

Another plant emerging from a pile of pebbles.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Its adjoining this church

Looking back at the graveyard. A salute to the brave hero in the corner and the others lying peacefully here.
