Old tombstone

Went on a photo fieldtrip with Ken, the photographer
who works for The Argus. While in the graveyard at
Holy Trinity, Carlingford, I noticed these old inscriptions
on the back of a tombstone which dated back to the
18th century.

Nikon D40x
1/640s f/4.8 at 75.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

This is such a fascinating find! I like to look at the backs of tombstones, because there is where you find the truly inspirational inscriptions. Thank you so much for sharing this. Beautiful photo too. V

A new take on an ancient art. Laine's right, these are a bit easier to interpret than the older ones.

An angel, a coffin & a heart...no more needs to be said does it....
