American Spirit - Jim Morrison's grave by outsider
(Pere LaChaise Cemetery, Paris – October 2006) Surprisingly, Jim Morrison’s grave is a modest affair – a simple headstone with just his name birth/death dates & an epitaph in Greek. Very non rock. The grave still attracts a crowd and has it’s own security guard. Fans have left offerings of poems,writings, flowers and whisky. ‘American Spirit’ says it all.

I saw the daughter of the sun by Desmond Cannon
I saw the daughter of the sun; she stood / Under the north rise of the copse, where now / The shade-hoar faded, where began to show / Pale primrose heads, fresh as her own pale hood / Of straight hair, groups of early mercury / No greener than her own plain sheeny gown - / Long had I wandered in the winter-town / Of smoke-grey fog, of stone grey field and tree Nor girl she seemed, nor goddess; her grave face’ / Soft as a child’s, yet wise, brighter than spring, / More warm than summer, had strange shadowing, / Then mundane lustre held both more and less; No mirth was there, no glee, no eagerness, / No love, save love for every living thing. Elizabeth Daryush / (1887-1977) (Old Angel statue circa 1915 found in a graveyard in County Wicklow, Ireland).

One day, while walking thru Saint Michael Cemetery (Louisville, KY), I caught a glimpse of a marble angel, draped across a casket forever mourning the loss of the one eternally resting underneath. I was struck with it’s beauty and spent over an hour photographing it, as it made me think of my sister. Laying on the cold ground, I took this shot from underneath the angel’s arm… WINNER of the / Angels & Spirit Guides challenge This original photograph (no editing) is a close-up, from a different angle, of Mourning Angel / If you like this image, you might also enjoy: Wind Sad Foot Stone Gaze —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-— / Please visit my GALLERY PAGE Thanks for looking! / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—

About This Group
This is a gallery of cemetery art from around the world.
Cemeteries reflect not only the customs of civilizations but also our humanity. Never are our souls revealed so much as when we grieve for a lost loved one. Many of us feel at home among these monuments to the dead, and enjoy the solitude these open-air art museums afford.
This group showcases photographs of cemeteries, mausoleums and memorials as well as other works within our theme. Written works about death, solitude, loneliness, loss, etcetera are allowed, but will be moderated to ensure appropriateness.
Please submit only your best work, and, while heavily edited works (ie: photoshopped) are encouraged, please only submit pieces that you feel represent your art at it’s best. If you are unable to handle rejection this is not the gallery for you.
