A small series of selected photographs documenting this huge cemetery...and all taken with my RICOH GR and GW3 21mm.

First time I've seen them. Great stuff. We have several cemeteries around here that pretty much cater to Bikers or hard core rednecks. The gist of the gesture is almost the same but there is a huge difference in the structure of the tombstones.

Paul,

I'm taken back at the richness of the sculpture invested in the cemetery. I wonder whether you managed to get the name of the fellow in the first imressive sculpture?

Hello Paul

These are very interesting compositions... I am surprised no one has commented on them?



Hey James, I find it to be the norm on here. In a couple of photographs I saw a relationship between the sculpture/ statues and so composed and photographed them accordingly. I always try to look for something beyond a straight snap. Thanks for your comment...

Chris, Montjuic Cemetery is something to behold, it really is set apart from anything else. Joan Miro has a plot here. Thanks for commenting...

Hey Asher, I didn't get the name of anyone here really, I guess I kept things anonymous. Again, there is such a richness in sculpture here. I didn't get to see all areas because the place is so vast. Next time I guess...

James,

You're so right, you switched on the light here!! Paul has had the sculptures reflect on the dead! This is indeed, outstanding work!
