Daybreak, Columbus Cemetery, Havana, Cuba, 2012

The coming of another day to a cemetery speaks of the inexorable passage of time itself. Using my spot meter, I carefully exposed for the brightest light, making most of these tombs fall into the shadows. The sun strikes the top of an ornate mausoleum, and grazes a huge monument to Havana's firemen.

I like your interpretation of the light on the tomb in the background, Celia. It is offers an excellent follow-up thought to my previous image of the fallen blossoms.

The lit archway seem to suggest the transition of souls from one world to another. How apt!
