took this on my phone a couple of days ago. doesn't show any of the mist that made it so magical, but i still like it. :)
 
maybe that's a no, then :D

i might use this as a backdrop, make an illustrated poem. if i can find the right words to lay on it.
 
I've forgotten how to post pictures here, I used to do it via Photobucket but I've forgotten my sign in details

if you have them on your computer, annie, get up the reply box and underneath you'll see 'manage attachments'. click on that and it gives you the options of uploading from your pc or adding the url of the web page your picture is stored on bravenet/facebook/tumblr etc....
 
now that's so interesting - you see it, and then you see it!


This is one of Louisiana's famous above ground cemeteries. One of the problems of ground level burial is the constant threat of grave robbers. This vault was broken open many decades ago. There is no trace of the coffin or it's occupant. How it came to be a portal between this world and the next is an interesting question.
 
Hope I've done this right ........ Just what is that in the tree?

now i'd have that in my garden - the blank face, the erosion... love it.

There is every chance you could have it in your garden, one day. This photo was taken in the St. Louis Cemetery in New Orleans(many years before Katrina). In the following years, there was a booming business in stolen cemetery statuary. Most of it was sold in New York and California, where decorating tastes run toward the morbid. I suppose if ancient Egyptian graves are fair game for interior designers, there's no reason to expect ours to be spared.

I love the shift in perspective.
This photo keeps drawing me back to look at it. I don't think I'd use it as display art but it would find a place in a collection printing I would look through often. Have you thought about publishing any of these, bronze?

Ditto.

The depth of field sets the tone for composition; it's otherworldly and creepy-fantastic! The same feel for the photo of the eroded cherub.

That would be nice, but I fear a book of photographs would be lost effort. If there is a group which outnumbers frustrated poets, it would be frustrated photographers.
