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 when I noticed that my memory card was full. I took it out and found my backup card, slid the full one into my jeans pocket and started taking more photos. All of a sudden 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 me, wagging his finger 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 squirreled away in my pocket.) :)

Thanks...I'm glad you like it but running was out of the question....the place was surrounded by a ten foot tall brick wall and only one entrance/exit was open. :)

i want a statue like that above my grave. hell, i want a statue like that, period.
the leafless tree and generally browny background give the photo a 'spooky' feel, nicely contrasted by the nright red flowers.

It's unjust that they don't permit to photo such beautiful things. Great shot, so three-dimensional
