Cemetery Angel

051113

This cast-iron angel watches over the entrance to the cemetery. She’s seen better days – her wings are gone as is her right arm and her left hand.

Someone, with an unsteady hand, has painted her lips, making her look even more forlorn.

  1. Actually, a very sad image. The crack below the eye looks like a tear.
