Standing near the Herb Garden of the Botanical Gardens is a Sundial that was telling about the right time when i took the shot although the angle isn’t best. When i stood where I really liked the angle, of course the sundial stopped working since i was in the way

Graveyards can be interesting places to visit photographically speaking although i avoid photographing some areas like the childrens’ section as it is too sad, especially so soon after christmas with presents and decorations left. This grave was for a master mariner and also his son.

A graveyard can be an interesting place to visit with your camera. I love the marble of some graves as at the right angle you can find an interesting reflection

In Hobart with the graves of the fallen far away, a memorial row of trees was planted to commemorate each of the fallen from the first world war. More recently plagues were placed giving details of each of the fallen. Passing along part of the path i came upon this plague remembering William Conway who was killed in action at Pozieres on the 25 July 1916 at the age of 27 years, 11 months. and is buried in Pozieres British Cemetery, France. Unlike many of the fallen, his plague is visited by family with flowers left and a poem to a Grandfather that they never knew.

Rest in Peace Private Conway.

The saddest thing in the world i have seen is a child’s grave. The relatives visit and leave toys for the child such as this blue puppydog.

Not something anyone of us want to see any time soon, the back of a Hearse
