This grave is in exactly the opposite condition as the one in the previous image. http://www.pbase.com/image/125665797). I made both images in the same cemetery within five minutes of each other. The man who is buried below this toppled and cracked stone died at age 43. He mined for gold, and his wealth paid for a handsome stone, replete with a carved angel. His stone now lies among the weeds, yet the wooden enclosure around the gravesite incongruously remains upright, and while peeling, it has obviously been maintained over the years. Yet the cracked marble slab seems ghostly in its abandonment – almost as if it was the lid of a coffin.
