This photo of a silhouetted cross against a beautiful sunset was taken in Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada right across the street from my house. My then girlfriend, now wife pointed out the cross, so I got down to ground level and took the shot. I was using a Canon PowerShot A640 camera at the time. / This was the very first image that I added to RedBubble and it has been my most popular image for views, comments, and favoritings to date. / _____________ / Check out more of my art from these categories: / Holiday Cards / Abstracts / Sketches / Birds / Seascapes/Landscapes/Sunsets / / Subscribe to art updates / Subscribe to T-shirt updates / Become a fan on FaceBook / Add me as a friend on FaceBook / Follow me on Twitter _____________ /

The cemetary at St Georges church in Beckenham, south London.

Old church, abandoned for years, unholy place full of mysteries….

I hear the angels weeping. / I see their heads bowed low. / Their wings surround / Those broken-hearted, / So wounded by this FOE! I see the angels huddled / Near a mother, in such pain, / Because the child / She searches for / May ne’er be found again. I hear the brush of angel’s wings, / So near they are to you. / GOD sent them there / To minister for these / Trials you’re going through. by Mary Carter Mizrany

I cry the tears of sorrow, as there will be no tomorrow. I cry the tears of pain, as struggling is now in vain. I cry the tears of endlessness, as I am filled with emptiness. I cry the tears of love, as I now watch you from above. I cry no tears of sorrow, as there will always be another tomorrow … Picture made on Melaten cemetery, Cologne, Germany

As some of you know, I was born and raised in Germany. Moved to the US in 1984, and have loved living here ever since. A couple of years ago I stumbled upon a story about a German submarine (U-85), that was sunk off of the North Carolina coast by USS Roper 4/14/1942. The circumstances that caused all Germans to be lost (killed) remain rather questionable, but I guess those are the horros of war. During my research about the U-85, I came across Ann Davis. She has spent years getting the US & German government to replace the headstones of the Germans with ones more fitting to be in a Veterans Cemetery. I am very thankful for her work in this regard. I gave her a framed print of this image as a gift of my gratitude and she literally was moved to tears. UPDATE: A fellow artist Angel Perry has submitted this image to the prestigious Pay-It-Forward Group citing the following: / “He created this image with heartfelt commitment on getting all the names and research accurate. Not only is it a wonderful tribute to all the men who lost their lives; it’s a great Memorial for the families to cherish for a lifetime. His skills as an artist have grown right in front of our eyes and this image speaks volumes.” Thank you so much Angel, that is very much appreciated. About this image: / The submarine is a picture of U-995, taken by me last year. The U-995 is a type VII-C submarine, and is an exhibit at the Submariners Museum in Kiel (Laboe), Germany. The U-995 is the only remaining surviving type VII in the world. The U-85 was a type VII-B (both very similar in appearance). The ocean scene was a shot I took in NC, near where the U-85 still remains submerged to this day. The tombstone image was taken during Memorial Day 2008, it was touching to see that each German grave also had a small German flag (and a US flag as well). All images were layered and combined into one. I then added the names of the crew with tombstones on top, the ones lost forever at see are below the submarine.

Image best viewed in Large, although names still are a bit difficult to read. Full-screen on my laptop this looks awesome! My art with 1000+ views

In the sallow twilight of dusk I sit, / silent and soundless. I’m listening to the rustling leaves, / getting lost in the song of the wind whistling through the trees. I try to be very quiet, my breathing decelerates, / my heart beat winds down. Silent now – almost without a sound – I am sitting here, / swaying to and fro like a straw in the wind. I am listening deep inside of me, / calm I am! / My blood rushes through my body, / like a mountain stream after a thunderstorm. Still getting calmer, listening, / I hear the rain drops clutching to earth almost withouth a sound. I hear the crescendo of the impact when a drop hits the earth. / Hear the gargling sound when it sinks into the ground. Thievishly I follow its way through the arteries of Mother Earth, / I float and swim through the odorous soil. Deeper and deeper I am dragged. / Suddenly there is silence around … I hover in total silence! / Can hardly breath, I am deaf … But then I notice – it isn’t silent here, / I have just become part of the pulse. Steadily the pulse is beating … / silence! * / Written on 15th January 2004 – so it is a bit older. Picture taken on Melaten cemetary, Cologne! / It is so peaceful there …

This grizzley character greets people on the Allen Street sidewalk and invites them in to Tombstone Ghost & Legends, the “indoor history tour that brings to life the true stories of Tombstone. Your personal tour guide is the ghose of Doc Holiday. Be prepared to be thrilled by the special effects and surprises.” Well, imagine the surprise of the girl whose photograph was being taken when he started moving as she stood next to him. “The Town Too Tough to Die,” Tombstone was perhaps the most renowned of Arizona’s old mining camps. When Ed Schieffelin (SHEF·e·lin) came to Camp Huachuca (hwah·CHEW·kuh) with a party of soldiers and left the fort to prospect, his comrades told him that he’d find his tombstone rather than silver. Thus, in 1877 Schieffelin named his first claim the Tombstone, and rumors of rich strikes made a boomtown of the settlement that adopted this name. During World War I, Tombstone was a major producer of manganese for the government. In World War II, Tombstone was extracting lead for the cause. After both conflicts, Tombstone faded into obscurity, just to be resurrected at a later time. The citizenry of Tombstone decided rather than depending on a vanishing mining industry, they would focus their time and energy on tourism and restoration. Good call! Many of Tombstone’s historic buildings are within an area bounded by Fremont, 6th, Toughnut and 3rd streets. Among them are St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, built in 1882; the Crystal Palace Saloon, one of the most luxurious saloons in the West; and the Tombstone Epitaph building, where the oldest continuously published paper in Arizona is still being printed. Western printing history exhibits in the front office are free to the public. Truly a Historical American Landmark, Tombstone is America’s best example of our 1880 western heritage, which is well preserved with original 1880’s buildings and artifacts featured in numerous museums. / Tombstone Ghosts and Legends Greeter was featured in:* THE SISTERHOOD/August, 2009 / THE WILD WEST SHOW/August, 2009 / AMERICAN SOUTHWEST/August, 2009 / HORRORAMA/October, 2009 / Second place in HORRORAMA’s “Halloween Hootenanny” Challenge/October, 2009 /

Jerry Brewer aka Terco Paco, “The Tombstone Bandito,” is a fixture at special events in Tombstone, Arizona. I met Jerry at Wyatt Earp Days and he was also at Vigilante Days. He is a real character.

This photograph was taken at Helldorado Days in Tombstone, Arizona. Folks in costume depicting the 1880’s or so are wandering around just waiting to have their pictures taken. I usually concentrate on the men, but this beauty caught my eye.
