Welcome to Death Angels : A Photographic Essay Here you will find photographs of cemetery angels, watchers and
guardians which grace the final resting places of many who have gone before us.
Rather than finding them morbid or macabre, I find them to be both comforting and
beautiful. It is a disappearing art form and one that deserves to be protected and
cherished as part of our heritage. The beauty of the gardens of stone that once graced
cemeteries, have been replaced by lawns which more resemble golf courses than places of
honor. Surely a natural landscape is pleasing to everyone's eye, but it says nothing
of the character of the place. Sadly the natural landscapes of the modern cemetery
are not made for their beauty, but for their ease of maintenance. It's cheaper to
mow over rather than around. Even wreaths, flowers, trinkets and memento's
left to honor the dead are thrown away with no respect for the sentimentality behind the
act. |
