This Art Nouveau memorial figure symbolizes a loved one who will never return. Just as I approached this tomb, nature made it even more evocative as a shaft of early morning sunlight passed through a break in the heavy overhead foliage, falling precisely on the head of the figure. I exposed for this lighted portion with my spot meter to make the shadows on the rest of the tomb darker. Death is part of life. It is natural. And nature itself illuminates the meaning of grief here.
