The Edge of the Cemetery


Theme Day this month and the word is 'edges' - so here are a lot of them... the edges of the cross and pedestal, the edge of the building, the rounded edges of the pillars and the worn edges of the rusty wrought iron gate. Perhaps too, think of the people who are buried here in Menton's old cemetery who have edged their way to heaven.

And what about those who feel a little on edge hoping they don't end up here anytime soon...

Le thème de la Journée de ce mois est «Bords» .En voici donc quelques -uns ... les bords de la croix et de la colonne, le bord du bâtiment, les bords arrondis des piliers et les bords usés de la grille en fer forgé rouillé. Peut-être aussi, peut-on penser aux gens qui sont enterrés ici dans le vieux cimetière de Menton qui ont espérer tracer leur chemin vers le paradis. Et que dire de ceux qui se sentent un peu sur le bord l'abîme en espérant qu'ils ne finissent pas ici de sitôt ...

  9. I love your photo for the theme, Jilly. Especially that curved edge in the foreground and background fencing. I never think of curves when I think of edges. And you've got so many types of edges covered :-). It is a beautiful shot, and I love looking through in that light.

  12. I also tried to show multiple edges, but I used the elements of nature in Tamarindo. I never thought of a cemetery. Very creative and clever.

  13. Ah, you made a deliberate attempt to include edges in your curves...it softens the idea of edges, I think.

  16. Yes, many edges - lost and found - but more than that I enjoy your use of natural framing to feature the white cross in the cemetery.
