Fallen Angel


This angel in a local cemetery looks very sad. Possibly from the poor weather today, or from the acid rain that is slowly eating away at her once snowy white face. I'm always surprised at the workmanship that goes into carving gravestones From the simple named headstone, to the very ornate statues and obelisks.

  6. So true on the craftmanship. On the sad face, the local has run out of JD and the hair straightners have conked out.
