Thanks, @silvia.
A forgotten cemetery. Kind of sad, or at least melancholy. Cool sculpturing though. There is something about walking through old cemeteries. It's almost like you're communing with the residents there and in some cases, sharing their stories. A very solemn time.
Exactly as you said, @roswellrockman. Thank you for this brilliant comment. We appreciate it.
