(the main entrance early in the morning... note the lit candles... there were dozens throughout the cemetery, even at 6:30 am)


(one of the first figures I found that morning... )


(again and again it was the expressions and details that caught my attention... few of them looked sad, but this one did... )


(This is one of my favorite shots of the day, and one I had to work hard for, standing precariously... )


(and then even more precariously and reaching high to get as even with her face as I could... this was very tall... )


(this field didn't fit in with the rest of the cemetery as well, but I found it just as the fog was lifting from it and as the dew was still apparent and the light was just touching the first of the groups of crosses... )


(I like the way she is half in the stone and half out, and how the flowers nearby throw some color into a very uniform gray photo... )


(one of two sculptures that were remarkably lifelike to me... I don't know why, but I love her bare arm and neck... )


(the second one that I found almost alive... almost like she was just waiting on someone... )



(The higher the sun rose the more I noticed the leaves turning... by the time it was nine or ten I was using them constantly... )


(I find somethind odd about her face... nearly lifelike, but not quite right. Still, I liked the pose, and the one fallen leaf by her foot. )


(and I couldn't decide which angle I liked better... )
