this is in Cedar Hill Cemetery in Hartford CT. Monument to a Civil War General who died at 26 years old. Amazing detail in the wording in the folds of the flag, the sword, hat and belt. Sad.

I am a single mom and have lived in Connecticut my entire life. I have 4 Associates degrees and have started the process for a bachelor’s degree, finally! I am currently studying Italian. No matter where I am, my camera is close by. We recently added a Shiba Inu puppy to our family—lots of photo ops here. My life is currently shifting from working everyday to being able to work on my portfolio. Looking for opportunities to share my work.

Perfect timing with Veteran’s Day around the corner. I like this one
Wow there is so much going on with this tombstone, it’s a great work of art.
Yes MsLynn. The entire flag has ripples and writing as does every side of the tomb. There is also a cap, sword and belt on top of the flag. It was a great find. I was pretty amazed to see that this 26 year old was a general too.
