Impressions of Belgrade and Serbia and maybe photos from an in-country trip by a long-term ex-pat.

ABC WEDNESDAY--"D" is for "deceased"
A cell phone photo I took in a cemetery in Gornje Grbice, near Kragujevac, where I attended the funeral of a very good friend's mother. It always saddens me to see neglected graves.
mes condoléances pour ton amie. Les tombes a l'abandon ont aussi leur charme, dans le cimetiere russe de st genevieve les vieilles tombes a l'abandon sont recouvertes par arbres, la nature reprenant c'est droit
I have photos of two children's graves who died a hundred years ago, and also photos of the same gravesites as they were ten years ago, - so sad to see them neglected, with all the family gone who used to tend them.
It's a gorgeous shot. I hate to see neglected graves too (even if they do make for interesting photos); I'll just let my kids scatter my ashes somewhere fitting.
Interesting shot...the color and focus add to the feelings of sadness and neglect...very impactful... My condolences for your and your friend's loss...

I agree that neglected graves are sad but they do make for more interesting photos.

Sorry for your loss. But very interesting image.
I noted just this summer some untended graves of my ancestors. Getting the shears...

Call me morbid or weird but I have always found graveyard fascinating for photography.

Yes, a sad picture.
Le temps et la nature recouvrent bien des choses.
Sorry for your loss. Death is inevitable, but it is still a sad event.

My condolences. Great shot, though.
