I love reading the older headstones..and conjuring a visual image of the times.

Great old tombstone. I really like when they put on information about the deceased such as "universally esteemed". Very nice find and a great entry to the challenge.

Great capture of a beautiful headstone. I hope mine can say, "He enjoyed Pbase to the very end." :)

It's a beautiful tombstone and tribute.

'Hold on I'll be back in a minute'.. Bet he (Henry) could have a good tale or two to tell..

Yvonne		09-Dec-2008 23:45
What a wonderful inscription & find, and love the little floral adornment too. Beautifully capture Sheila! I'd like to have a rose adornment on mine... v

Not sure but i would like people to be able to see & wonder about me as I do about Henry Morley...a great find

Máire Uí Mhaicín		09-Dec-2008 23:01
Very well spotted and presented. Love the detail you have captured on that white headstone.

Terri Steele		09-Dec-2008 22:44
Great shot... no tombstone for me please... scatter my ashes to the seven seas ;)

Gary Winters		09-Dec-2008 22:38
Since I intend to be cremated, I don't think I'll have a headstone! But this chap sounds like he was well loved. Good idea for I.

Johnny JAG		09-Dec-2008 22:05
"I told you I was ill"

Phillip Normanton		09-Dec-2008 20:44
Does that have an iron surround too? Very ornate :)

Nicki Thurgar		09-Dec-2008 20:39
A wonderful old stone, with a great inscription

Guest		09-Dec-2008 20:24
Nice image and it gives me something to think about!

Jeff Lobaugh		09-Dec-2008 19:24
Well seen and presented!! I find it interesting. You read all of his accomplishments and his wife is almost a postscript to the story.

mathilda williams		09-Dec-2008 18:25
this is beautiful I love old cemeteries with their very personal gravestones, i have come across the most marvellous ones in my wanderings around old graveyards.

J. Scott Coile		09-Dec-2008 17:40

Jonathan Popp		09-Dec-2008 16:28
As a diver, I'm hoping mine says "Diver Down" or "Diver Below" :) This is quite the headstone, nice find.
