lunch wagon at cemetery

Posted by Illuci (Hurdegaryp, Netherlands) on 28 June 2007 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

Next to the ruins of the old mortuary the lunch wagon of the gardeners has been standing for years, at first spoiling the view by its newness, now gradually becoming part of the scene itself.

It sure is becoming part of the scene. Time does amazing things. Nice one! :)

@HorseRotorVator: Thanks! Does time fly or crawl? For me it crawls, the flying feeling is only mine, not respecting the fact that all has its due time.

yes have to agree with HRV that with time we become part of the environement or system... that's part of the reason i'm leaving the technical college i teach at... don't agree with the way they run things... wouldn't like to become like them or think like them with time...
nice capture of contrasting colours here

This photo is rich. The wetness, living and fertile, suggests what will remain after all is finished.

@Seraphine: Yes, it's a mysterious environment, thanks to the law that cemeteries cannot be used for other purposes until 30 years after they are closed, or 40 years, anyway a long period. In the meantime nobody felt need to maintain buildings or graves - all close relatives are very old or dead themselves. Within afew years all this will be disappeared, that's why I take pictures. Besides, I believe in witches, not in the evil ones (they are early-Christian inventions) but in the genuine ones who seek harmony with nature. So if this is a place for witches, than it's not because it's scary.
