#31DaysofGraves 14: Inside. Warriston Cemetery's historic catacombs & vaults. I seem to use the word "sadly" a lot, but again, sadly these were badly vandalised & have been sealed off for many years. The b&w photos were taken by the council in the 1980s. #Edinburgh #Warriston #Catacombs #Vaults

A moment of calm in St James’ Churchyard, Burton in Kendal — where weathered 18th-century stones rest on ground sacred for centuries. 🖤

A color photograph featuring a shallow depth of field shot focused on the top of a stone monument.

A small, weathered cross sits atop an angular, light colored stone base, which appears to have a carving of a small angel or cherub face on its front.

The cross is brightly lit by sunlight. The foreground is blurred out of focus, showing the smooth, rounded top of another large monument.

The background is a solid wall of blurred, dense dark green foliage (likely cypress or pine trees).

The image has a watermark reading "GARDENS OF THE SILENT" in the bottom right corner.

The grave was opened again after Ellen for another interment. May be they could not afford to have the others added to the headstone.
