Disabled Grave Protector

When I haven't kept up with uploading new photographs, I fall back on some older shots I've yet to display here. Our trip to Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond a few weeks ago has provided me with a wealth of shots.

The extravagance that the grave markers have at Hollywood is very interesting, especially when time and weathering degrades the statues. Many of the apparent posthumous one-upmanship graves are lined with angels missing limbs and sometimes scarred beyond recognition. It makes for some neat photos, but I'm not sure I will ever understand the point of such a display.
