Y aquella bonita caja de música dejó de sonar.
Todo principio lleva un final.

Abandonados en vida, olvidados en la muerte.

This is amazing Marcelo. I have always been calmed as well as fascinated by Cemeteries. I love the the beautiful monuments usually found in the older ones… Stunning work. 😍
Thanks Kelli
Across the length and breadth of the “old” Europe there are really beautiful cemeteries that are true havens of peace and oases of tranquillity.

Han pasado muchos años desde la muerte de esa persona, de su cuerpo solo quedarán unos cuantos huesos, sus recuerdos se habrán ido perdiendo conforme hayan muerto los que le conociesen, y de su tumba solo esa cruz caída cuya madera se va descomponiendo poco a poco. Nada puede resistir el paso tiempo, ni siquiera la eternidad. Abrazo.
Gracias Carlos
En lugares como este uno parece escuchar a Shakespeare, que a través de Ricardo II nos avisaba: “Malgasté el tiempo y ahora el tiempo me malgasta a mí.”
La eternidad y el infinito son conceptos que me fascinan, quizás porque somos finitos me resultan incomprensibles por ser inconmensurables.
Un abrazo

This photo reveals a falsehood or a message of beware to me.. like a poem.
Thanks Resa
Nothing, even the most heartbreaking pain, lasts forever.
The sentence “We shall never forget you.” becomes an empty promise as time went on.
Warm regards.

Only by accepting death we will able to enjoy Life.

A cross like a sword, an open grave … the swords in life, the open end …

Thanks Ulli
The state of degradation and dilapidation of this grave is a clear example that it will be what remains of our existence: a silent oblivion.
I cannot do other one that admire all of those who, despite their different religious believes, share the same respect and sorrow over the death.

So much narrative locked into your images, Marcelo.
Thanks Richard
l would like one day to be a good visual story teller.

so very beautiful in it’s slow decay
Thanks Gavin
A vivid reminder of our decline.

Can’t help but think of my mum and dad when I see graves like this, although there is the usual hideous memorial stone,not a wooden cross. Perhaps a wooden marking is better, because it fades, crumbles and decays, which is like us and most things in this world. I noticed images I’d posted on Flickr of a cemetery are largely avoided, pretty images are much preferred. I think that says a lot about how we wish to avoid endings. There’s a lot to be faced in this one image. Very well presented Marcelo, I admire your boldness in seeing these aspects of life most people avoid.
Thanks Suzy
Cemeteries stand silent witness to our ephemeral existence, walking through them is like receiving a good lesson in enjoying the “here and now”.
In these places I fall easily into a state of serenity that helps me to see the basic characteristics of impermanence, unreliability, and lack of independent existence that all things share.
I know what you mean about “images to be avoid” but I don’t take photographs of “things”, I try to make photographs of my thoughts and feelings. We can change the meaning of any objects just by taking a picture of their emotional impact on us.

Yes, very true! 🙂 I feel what makes a great picture is the emotional response – on many different levels.
Thanks Suzy
I am always glad when someone “feels” the message I am trying to convey through my photographs.
