Grief, Jacksonville, Oregon, 2009

Still another gravesite in Jacksonville’s old cemetery featured a classic Victorian angel, kneeling in prayer upon a draped column. It marked the graves of three children, all of them dead within a year or so. To intensify the expression of grief, I photograph it in dappled light. The shadows abstract the scene, adding a mournful mood.

I love the way you phrase it as "spice making this dish," Tim. Light does play on remembrance in cemeteries. It creates the mood, and meaning as well.

You mention the dappled light in your caption, but for me it is the spice that makes this dish - Light playing on remembrances - the essence of cemeteries.
