Welcome

This was the first cemetery photo I ever took - Stanley Cemetery, Tasmania. Three weathered crosses, standing watch over the sea, quietly invited me into a world of memory, history, and stillness. That moment became the beginning of Gardens of the Silent.

Thanks for visiting.

Saw this in Ripley Cemetery today. At some point in time the headstone has fallen backwards and now the tree is growing around it, holding it fast.
