But you should take your hat off.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi every one,
I'm happy the pictures brought some memories back, and some travels in mind - that was what I hoped for.
Jamie, it's the water spots in Paris, where you can go and drink a little water if you need. I love this idea, and that it's four beautiful woman dancing around you as you drink, dont make it less interesting.
The hat, I take it of for you!

My favorite is the guy with his hands over his face- anguish or shame? No offense but I really hate the dead Jesus one. That always grosses me out. This was a nice sampling of cemetary art. :) Thanks Mads!

Rivergirl, yes he is really scary, it was why I brought him along, as a contrast. He was so cold and suffering on that cold stone, and with the hole in his chest. I still have a hard time to understand why we want to remember him like that! I would love to see a warm hearted man sitting at a table with others telling storys - but the church want's us to remember only the suffering part - why? I know people who suffered a lot, but I always remember them for the god, perhaps I'm just a hopless optimist…
Terri, It sounds so beautiful.
