broken chain


broken chain, originally uploaded by Lizzie~Belle.

Digging into the archives a bit for this one, which was taken at the old cemetery on Elm St. in West Springfield last year, and is going to appear on the cover of a book - my first official sale!

I love the imagery on old gravestones. They seem (to me) to be more spiritual and ethereal than more modern stones. Here's an interesting site with common symbols and their meanings.

nice new look, Elizabeth...

Thanks! I really like the old look, but it cuts off the right side of my pix, which kind of defeats the purpose of a photo blog. ;)

Congratulations. I like the look too. I keep experimenting with mine behind the scenes, but I'm not ready to make the move yet.
