Artist's Comments

I pretended not to see the "No Photos" sign posted at the entrance of the beautiful Poble Nou cemetery in Barcelona Spain. I was wandering around for awhile and saw that a few other visitors were taking photos. I pulled my camera slowly out and was able to take a few dozen discrete pictures until I noticed that my memory card was full. I took it out and found my backup card. I slid the full one into my jeans pocket and started taking more photos when I heard someone behind me, speaking loudly in Spanish. I turned around and saw a man in a security guard uniform. He walked up to, wagging his finger at me and insisted that I erase all of the cemetery images from my camera. I was shaking a bit as I deleted about 12 pics in front of him and begged his forgiveness, "Lo siento, lo siento!!..." I pleaded as I put my camera away and made my way back out of the cemetery (the extra data card safely squirreled away in my pocket.) :)

very powerful sculpture - thanks for the commentary and for braving the no photo restrictions - Idont know why they would not allow you to photograph these?

This really is such a lovely sculpture. It kinda reminds me of a mother putting her child to rest.
