The latest product from Ikea*: a flat-packed, self-assembly grave.

The inscription on the headstone of this grave reads Eenvoudig en oprecht vol goedheid was uw leven, uw edel hart heeft ons zoveel gegeven.

According to Google Translate, it means Your life was simple and sincere, full of goodness, your noble heart has given us so much.

The other photograph I took of this grave showed the other two items holding more cobweb hens and chicks - or sempervivum - and the inscription, but it wasn't sharp and worthy of sharing. However, I decided to take the title for this image from the inscription.

I took this after the rain in the churchyard of the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in Wulveringem.

The church is opposite Kasteel Beauvoorde. We visited the castle (it was the reason we were in the town), but I've yet to edit most of the photos from there. Another task on my to-do list...

Nearby the lighthouse at Table Cape in Tasmania lies the small grave of the infant son of the first Table Cape lighthouse keeper.

Bertram Jackson passed away a little over two weeks after the lighthouse opened in 1888.

The lighthouse keepers left Table Cape sometime after 1920 when the lighthouse operation became automated. However, his little body remains.

I love the quality of sunlight after rain, especially on graves.

Phil and I were wandering the churchyard at St Nicholas' Church in Arundel just after the rain stopped and the light falling on the graves was just lovely.

Because the clouds were still moving across, I had to time my shot just right to take full advantage of the light.

I saw this photo before I took it, but as I lined myself up to take it, the light changed. I had to wait patiently in a squatting position until it returned.

I wanted a good pun on this fellow's name as a title, but I couldn't think of anything that didn't feel too forced or didn't quite work.
