Sometimes as we surf the ether, a particular photograph really catches the eye, and makes you think.
For me, this is one of those pictures ...
What an epitath.
I had to find out about the guy, and he was definitely larger than life in his day.
I'm thinking that saying under his name on the tombstone would make a good album title or song title.
If you use IRC you'll understand what this means

Dennis, that tombstone is in mint condition for someone who died in 1887. I think stone styles like that weren't even around till the 1960s.

Maybe the old one got all shot-up by the Quick-Draw wannabes practicing their skill.
Maybe. I like the old white limestone stones. They look so worn out and ancient.
I used to visit graveyards nearby my village, to look at some of the old stones. The oldest (dated) one I've ever seen was from the 1680s-17xx's, on a road trip during which we stopped at a grave yard in some back country town. Whether it was actually posted in that time, I do not know, and do not speculate to be true, but nonetheless
What are you saying?
I think I lost track of whatever thought I was trying to convey, to be honest.
Thanks for that.
I know exactly what you mean about looking at gravestones.
About a mile from where I live is a very old church ... St. Mary's, (900 years).
In the grave yard are some gravestones which are barely legible now, but a few of them describe how tough life used to be hundreds of years ago better than any history book.
Folk with large families, and one of a few similar gravestones listing the deaths of all 12 children of a family over a two year period. Plague and pestilence type thing.
Makes you think.
Looking around old graveyards is fascinating, but I have to do it by torchlight, when the suns gone down.
I prefer candlelight

I can somehow see you walk up behind someone and say boo!
Awh jeez. That'd be creepy

Errr, ummmm, is that related in any way to the phase of the moon, if I might ask?
No offense meant. Really. None. Really.

Of course not.
Busy at the moment, so just popped in to say that. Must fly ...
