For #CemeterySunday, a gravesite at #Brno Central Cemetery. I've no idea if the initials were vandalism or part of the actual grave. Either way, with the #reflection, it was an eye-catcher

One year ago today I posted this miniature Ash vs Evil Dead photo I created using real figures, lighting and miniature sets...

– From Wolfgang Borchert's poem "There's only one choice" ("Dann gibt es nur eins"), written in 1947 shortly before his death at just 26.

I'm not usually into poetry and grand literature, but reading Borchert's works about World War II and its aftermath at school left a lasting impression on me. So whenever I see memorials or #graves from that time, Borchert isn't far from my mind. You can read the full poem in English and the original German, along with context and links, here: http://www.swans.com/library/art13/xxx123.html

This is a section of #Brno Central Cemetery, Ústřední hřbitov, with the graves of German #soldiers of the Second World War for #CemeterySunday.

Today I visited the #Brno Central Cemetery, Ústřední hřbitov, so I'm doing a #FootpathFriday and #CemeterySunday crossover. It's the second largest #cemetery in the Czech Republic, so it was a loooooong walk too.

Another throwback for #CemeterySunday – St Peter's #Church in #Hever. Again. 😅 But this time from 2013, not 2024 like last time. But what's 11 years to a #cemetery ... 🪦

Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams
The islands and bays are for sportsmen
And farther below, Lake Ontario
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
With the gales of November remembered
