flowers and the angel


I'm packing today, and ready to leave this cold weather for a bit of warmth in the pacific islands for a couple of weeks... but I thought I'd leave you all with an image, and a quick note about it. Gravestone markers, especially angels, seem to be quite highly photographed, especially by some well known New Zealand photographers, and this I am very aware of. However, I am still attracted to them regardless of this, I just can't help myself. There is something beautiful about them and yet quite disturbing at the same time, especially when they start to crumble or decay in some way, a symbol it seems of what it is they are representing.

So I leave you with this, and I shall be back in a couple of weeks
