No. 2 in the New Orleans Cemetery Series                                                                                      This is the interior of a tomb in a local cemetery. The blue light enters the tomb through stained glass illuminating an angel who kneels at a pedestal with her head down sobbing for the loss of a loved one. I have rarely witnessed such beauty and emotion in my life.

What a detailed piece of stonework. And you caught it at just the right time of day for the light to be comming through that window on her.

What a fantastic image you have captured regmar! This certainly conveys the emotion the family must have felt/feels at the moment!! The lighting from the stained glass window serves to enhace the sadness of the angel. Excellent job. Thank you

Here is a list of fearful things: the jaws of sharks, a vulture's wings, the rabid bite of the dogs of war, the voice of one who went before. But most of all the mirror's gaze, which counts us out our numbered days.

This picture gave me goosebumps. I can only imagine what it must have felt like to stand there to take the shot. I love how the blue light filters down... a mix of warmth and sorrow to comfort this saddened angel. What a talented sculptor, and lovely photograph!

What a stunning image! This shot has actually been my favorite desktop image for a few years already. The blue light and the deep sorrow of the angel make this a perfect shot. How lucky you are to have seen this in person.
