Cemetery Bench

"Cemetery Bench"

Posted Oct 31 2008 by E J Mordasky


Another Eastport Maine moment---

when driving through the cemetery

I spied this bench off a ways looking

like it expected someone to sit there

and watch the sea while visiting.

It was more for a child then big

people size--it had some carvings here and

there and on the bench back

I just found some initials

--I took one telephoto

shot to get some of the detail

and that's all--it looked like it was sinking

into the earth and had

been there a long time

it is done in the small

Moleskine book...... this morning.....

I started to add the color and just

could not stop till it was done

---or close to---it seemed to have

the spirit of All Hallowed Eve

So I'll post it in time for that.

Nice one, and the crow, assuming it is a crow does give it that Halloween feel. Happy Halloween :-)

Very cool, very appropriate to the season! Love it!

Perfect. And the little bench that is sinking into the ground goes on living in a journal.

That's right Freebird...I feel that way, too. I plan to find out about the bench and hear some good stories in the process..why it hasn't been in a suspenseful book by now puzzles me---Eastport has a fine mystery writer, Sarah Graves, you can Google. EJM

Another wonderful page...every page is so consistently good. I wish I could pick up the actually book and flick through it...what an experience that would be!

I think this crow would say , "Ever more" - - referring to ever more ideas and art coming from Winna
