There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.
Robert W. Service, The Cremation of Sam McGee

How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.
A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh

Little kids' minds are very, very strong. They bend. There's a lot of tensile strength and they don't break. We start our kids off on things like "Hansel and Gretel," which features child abandonment, kidnapping, attempted murder, forcible detention, cannibalism, and finally murder by cremation. And the kids love it.
Stephen King

Cremation has become the most popular form of burial in the United States... People used to want a big, thick granite stone, their names carved into with a chisel. I was here dammit! Cremation is like you're trying to cover up a crime. Burn the body. Scatter the ashes around. As far as anyone's concerned this whole thing never happened.

This is superb! I like the bold color variety, and I like how the front layers gives depth to this image. Kudos once again! tigs=^..^=

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

John, I agree with Sandi about the bold colors. Your Heartland contribution is a good one for the last 'Bold Colors' contest, but this one would have been a good one too. If Caedes had allow us to send in more contributions, and you'd done this, the choice for me would have been extremely difficult.
Thanks anyhow for this very fine post!

Not a marge I want to be on just yet. Sam had a good friend.
Even without your narrative this image portrays heat and movement - a most creative work !

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

What a great poem that is about Sam McGee from Plumtree, Tennessee, Strat. I imagine the hallucinations Cap were having looked a lot like your outstanding creation.
The Poem made me think of Captain Call's trip with the body of Gus from Montana to Texas for burial. He promised Gus he would do that.
I like your quotes, they run the gamut of emotions associated with death.
A real winner of a post. Kudos.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
