The End

Whether it's fancy and expensive, and made of marble, or just a simple stone,
or even a cremation, we are all headed toward the inevitable.
The most common epitaph I saw on tombstones was -- "Gone But Not Forgotten"

Is that our greatest fear? That we'll be forgotten?

Please see my PaD Wannabe (a selective desat of this image)
http://www.pbase.com/image/44098449 and let me know if I chose the right one.

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel

Nice wide angle shot.

I don't recall who said it, but I saw it in the PaD somewhere; "So long as there is someone left to say your name, you will never die." I make it a point to remember the names of friends and close family that have passed just for that reason.

Good choice. I think as long as the kids put flowers out every once in a while, and bring the great grand kids around to play on the site, I can rest easy.

I like this one best. Nice perspective.

Beta testing today: "Nice mausoleum!" ;^)

I like this one

I like this one best. Very nice shot. I don't fear death... I fear immortality. Have you read 'Oryx and Crake' by Margaret Atwood.... that's where we are headed :-)

love the colours and image.

Um, make that Gary will you Cheryl, LOL!! Oh dear, Gary I'm sorry, but it's been a tough week.

laine82		31-May-2005 08:40
Powerful shot Cheryl. I like this one.

Guest		31-May-2005 06:00
Amazing!

Steven Jusczyk		31-May-2005 04:47
Imposing shot. Like your choice.

Guest		31-May-2005 04:40
Wonderful perspective and theme...although the subject is a tomb and signifies the end, the feeling the photo gives me is a sense of something to look forward to on the other side...calm, serene and a peaceful.

Coleen Perilloux Landry		31-May-2005 04:32
I think you made the right choice. The color is more joyful and meaningful.

Guest		31-May-2005 04:11
I like this one too!

Robin Reid		31-May-2005 03:50
This one is better Gary. And yes, I think a desire for immortality (not immorality) is in many of us. Certainly fits me.

Pepe Zyman		31-May-2005 03:44
I like this one! Very good perspective.

Gayle P. Clement		31-May-2005 03:38
I do like this one much more than the other, Gary. The vivid colors give a sense of peace and hope.
