thanks for sharing these.

I don't think I've ever seen such an elaborately carved tombstone as Spencer Crash's. (the name makes me chuckle)

The bereft angel holding the wreath and the sleeping lion (looks a little drugged) are cool. Nice shots!

Thanks.

It's Spencer Trask, btw. It's easier to read when you zoom way in, on the original file.

Trask?
LOL
OK...but I think I like Crash better.
;)

At first, I thought it said "Trash".

That is one sad lion. And bummed angel.

I agree w/pondhopper: Spencer Trask's gravemarker is the most elaborate I've ever seen. Just - woah.

I wonder what the significance of the roses and pine branches is.

Re: beautiful

[likethebeer.livejournal.com]

What I see is that the rose is an ephemeral thing of beauty that will fade (like life); and the pine, as an evergreen, represents everlasting life. That's how I think of those 2 things in art, particularly in a graveyard.

Holy crap! What a beautiful place.
