“There is no death.”
The back of this elaborate tomb was engraved with a quote from Elizabeth Parker, who said, “There is no death. There is no forever gone.”
It is on her own tombstone, and she died in 2011, at age 16.

Fountain
A detail of the hotel’s fountain, which was a popular place for photos. On Saturday morning, as guests were arriving for a wedding, there was practically a line of dressed-up folks ready to pose for the camera. Or phone.

Whatever this was, it didn’t end well
A detail of some hulking ruins I encountered in Eureka Springs – I’m not sure what the owners intended, but I am sure it wasn’t this sad end.

Heavenward
The main rule at Thorncrown Chapel is that you have to stay seated while you’re taking photos. On the one hand, I appreciated that rule, because that kept people out of the image (and you know how I am about people!). But on the other hand, it made it a little challenging to get photos that didn’t end up looking like every other photo ever made of the place.
So, here’s a tip if you go: put the camera on the ledge by the window and shoot straight up. Not only will you get this vertiginous view, but you can get an interesting reflection thrown in!
