Weekend black & white

I was caught by the shrub growing out from under the top slab of the grave; I guess that if you go for burial, you end up feeding something. I'll take the fire I think.

Contax 167 with Zeiss 135/2.8 and HP5 film.

I like this shot. Looks like a lovely old cemetery and church. I'm going with fire too. I was talking about that with my daughter and she mentioned some places that might be good for my ashes and I said, naw, take me there while I'm alive! My ashes can go anywhere.

That's really interesting. I don't know, I like the idea of contributing to nature (burial vs. fire) :)

Life gives death gives life. You could submit the picture as a philosophy essay.

The small shrub gives the shot this mystery touch. Good one!

I rather like the idea of feeding plants with my bones.
