Mount Royal Cemetery, Montreal, Canada, 2009

The passage of time, and perhaps a nudge or two from a mindless vandal, has dislodged an entire set of family headstones deep within this vast cemetery overlooking the city of Montreal. The dappled light and litany of first names add a mournful dimension. The domino effect of these fallen monuments is both incongruous and rich in symbolism. The members of this family seem to be reunited in death, closer to each now than ever before.

Thanks for pointing out the solar gender preference here, Tim --the glow on Christina's stone suggests that perhaps she was the one that really made things work in this family so many years ago.

I am drawn to the light here - and the fact that the one female in the crowd is the one in the light.
