88 years

Some very cold flowers on the grave of someone who lived for 88 years. (Just a few minutes before this, there’d be rain and sleet-that-was-nearly-hail.)

castle/graves

The St. Cuthbert’s Kirkyard is just down the hill from the Edinburgh Castle. I liked the kirkyard a lot more than I liked the castle, if I’m being honest.

You know I like to photograph cemeteries…

our darling

Goodness. Someone’s child, their darling, is buried here. I can’t imagine anything sadder.

boot heel

The grave marker way down at the end of the cemetery had a thick square wooden post and several cowboy boots hanging from it. This boot, which was in full sun every single afternoon that wasn’t cloudy, was much the worse for that level of sun exposure. I don’t guess I understood how many nails there are in a boot until I saw this one.

As you can see, Long’s Cemetery is also very wide.

PS – Did you think I could go a whole month (and a 31-day one!) without posting any black and white images? No, I didn’t either. Thank you for your patience. Guess what’s back tomorrow?
