I walk past this graveyard everyday, today, was the first day I went in and really took a look at the folks who have gone before me. My word, it makes you think. I only have a little cheap camera, but I love it. :-) (5 years and 3457 days ago)
Located in Sapanta, Romania
Each tombstone (all are light blue) tells the story, in alternate rhymes, of the dead person. There is also a "picture" showing something that had been very important during his/her life, for example having a bicycle. (5 years and 3456 days ago)
You should read some of the poems on the graves, they are full of humour and contain implicit comments and/or pityless judgements. You will find all kind of human personalities - the drunk, the hard-worker, the innocent baby, the evil mother-in-law, the rich (owned several cows), the hunter (envied for his rifle), etc. A vivid world which has only moved to some other place.
That's a really awesome way to remember someone! That way when you visit you can have a smile on your face! Thanks for sharing! I love learning about things like this around the world!

Why can't you just replace it with something on theme. like a shot of more than one grave? You went all the way to the graveyard and only took this one picture?
