I've realized that I walk past her on my way to work every morning, but I've never actually photographed her.

The Burial Ground

#otd in 2022 I was wandering around an old burial ground by the edge of an ocean, visualising poetry about this place by @steveeely.bsky.social. This led to exhibitions and a quite unique book.

All that remains of the #tomb of Giuseppe Telfener in Campo Verano #cemetery is an empty space and a plaque with a drawing of the original #monument explaining that it was destroyed during the Allied bombing of Rome (July 19, 1943). #31daysofgraves 15. Damaged. #WWII #photography #lestweforget

Day 13 - Skeleton

#31daysofgraves

An old weathered gravestone stands in a grassy churchyard surrounded by other headstones. The top of the stone is elaborately carved with a skull surrounded by leaves and vines, symbolizing mortality. The inscription below is partly in Latin and partly in English, its letters softened by time and moss. It reads in part: “In spem Beatae Resurrectionis Hic reconditum est quicquid Mortale fuit… Judith… Daughter of Matthew Nicholas…” and dates to October 6th, 1748. The lower portion mentions that Judith was aged 14 years. The stone’s age and ornate memento mori carving give it a haunting yet reverent beauty, evocative of 18th-century funerary art.

Latin translation:

“In the hope of a Blessed Resurrection,
Here is laid whatever was mortal
of Judith, daughter of Matthew Nicholas, Master of Arts,
of Shalford in the County of Surrey,
who returned her soul to God
on the 6th of October, 1748,
aged 14 years.”

The combination of Latin and English was common at that time for educated families, particularly clergy or scholars (the “A.M.” stands for Artium Magister, or Master of Arts).

#31DaysOfGraves day 15, #broken. This poor headless #angel is in the #Newington cemetery, #Edinburgh, #Scotland. The monument is to William, John and Catherine Graham. William died on the Western Front, John in an accident. For those that care, #Pentax K-3iii, SMC Pentax-F 50mm f/1.7 lens.

A black and white photograph of a statue on a pillar. The statue is of an angel, kneeling, hands held together in a position of prayer. The statue is missing its head.

#31DaysofGraves 👻 No. 15 - Damaged.

Sandstone monument in the form of a square pillar with urn. The urn has fallen (or been removed) and now rests against the base, still in one piece. The sandstone has weathered so badly that there are only the slightest traces to suggest that the front face ever had an inscription.

Day 15: Damaged / Beschädigt

Diese beiden Grabsteine sind aneinander gebunden. Vermutlich, damit sie nicht umfallen. Der „Anstaltsfriedhof Treskow“ ist von Efeu überwuchert. Hier wurden Patienten und Personal der nahe gelegenen Psychiatrie beerdigt.

Herbstwald. Am Boden Efeu. Dazwischen zwei aneinander gelehnte Grabsteine, um die ein Drahtseil geschlungen ist.

#31DaysOfGraves Day 15 Damaged

I don't suppose in 1848, when St John's Churchyard #Nelson, ( then #GreatMarsden ) opened anyone thought of land management and irrigation?
As a result, the exposed sloping northern side has lots of land movement, damaging graves as it goes.

#Graveyard problems...

#31DaysofGraves #Day15 #Damaged At Carmunnock, some stones have been pushed over, not randomly, but by the council responsible for graveyards. Allegedly the stones were in a dangerous condition & this is to prevent them injuring visitors, rather than making them safe. Institutional vandalism.

A large gravestone lies on its back within a grassy churchyard. In the background other similar stones can be seen.
