2704 - Laid In Earth


Cemeteries are melancholy places almost by definition, and when a cemetery is old and neglected like the immense Jewish part of Vienna’s Zentralfriedhof, it is doubly so.

In this scene I loved the long perspective, the shadows of the trees, and without knowing I was extraordinarily lucky. Look at the full size on Flickr: There are two people in the far distance, exactly at the vanishing point, exactly in the right pose. I’ve tried a variant before and one after this shot, only a few seconds apart, but this is the only image with the two. I’m glad it was the best composition anyway 🙂

The Song of the Day is “Laid In Earth”, Dido’s Lament, today sung by Ane Brun. Hear it on YouTube.
