Just a memorial headstone, but in a tiny cemetery in a heavilly forested area, and the middle of nowhere. The names of folks still living in this general area go back two hundred and fifty years, though this is quite recent. The photograph caught my eye. I haven't any idea how the creator of this stone accomplished this work, and particularly the blending of the image into the stone. There are fewer than thirty gravesites here, this being the most recent.

There's a headstone mason just up the road from me does this kind of thing!...Give him a picture of loved ones and he superimposed them on marble somehow!

Nice find here!

It's a unique way to add to the tombstone, I think they use some kind of an acid wash or maybe it's lasered on. There is a lot of this type of decoration done around here. Nice capture.

A good find, the work done on that tombstone, is excellent. He died at a early age. Tigs♥ =^..^=

An interesting find and presentation, Doug. I like the reflection of the fence in the headstone. What are the odd shaped areas above the middle stone?

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
