West Norwood Cemetery (3/3)

[london1967]

This is a statue on one of the most striking and unusual tombs at West Norwood



with curious tile decorations


(perhaps I should turn this into a bear T-shirt?)

and, finally, a look at some, more alive, visitors

Looking closer I can see it is a bear, I thought it was a wolf at first glance.

As always, great pictures!

Thanks! Glad you liked them.

Perhaps you should investigate the history of the tomb before you go upsetting the spirit world with your T-shirts.

What are those berries? Would you eat fruit growing out of the soil at a graveyard, or is that just too yucky?

LOL! I've already tried but couldn't find anything. Maybe I should go on one of the monthly guided tours.

They are blackberries. And we saw a lady picking them!! I think I would probably eat them. And you?

Although I have rather non-conformist views about death and the afterlife, I somehow maintain strong superstitions about cemeteries and believe that they should not be disturbed. That would include picking and removing blackberries, I suppose.
