A shot taken during a trip to Elgin Cathedral in Scotland.

 

"Begun in 1224, Elgin was the principal church of the bishops of Moray. It lost its roof shortly after the Protestant Reformation of 1560, and later its central tower fell. But the cathedral’s fortunes began to change when it became a visitor attraction in the early 1800s." (Words & further info: www.historicenvironment.scot/visit-a-place/places/elgin-c... )

Crossbones Graveyard Garden of Remembrance.

 

This deeply wonderful site provides a place for those who have lost a young child or baby. A poster [qv] explains the Buddhist tradition behind this and the significance of the statues.

Skull And Crossbones Umbrella-

 

Make a splash next time it rains when you whip out this ultra-cool umbrella! Jet-black fabric gets eerie appeal from an awesome skull and crossbones print; the perfect accessory for rockers and rebels at heart.

"Here lies buried the body of Mr. Benjamin Parker. Merch who departed this life the 14th day of November 1769. Aged 54 years." Granary Burying Grounds, Boston MA.

Perhaps some will disagree but I count Crossbones Graveyard in London SE1 (Union Street and Redcross Way) as a hidden gem. In fact, it is more than that; a paupers graveyard with an extraordinary and poignant history, under the auspices of the truly wonderful Bankside Open Spaces Trust it is a present day garden of remembrance. A fence on the Redcross Way has a multitude of ribbons and notes commemorating those who were unheralded in often short lives. There is a special place for those who have lost infants and babies and a safe place for trans people.

 

All of this is recorded in a series of some of the happiest photographs I have taken for you to reflect on. I cannot recommend too highly an in person visit.

I found the perfect pair today. :D
