Description
Hope no one get upset here. I know it a touchy subject; I see people posting all the time photos of Ah cemetery always a good place to take photos of tombstones, stone carvings, flower bouckets as babuci said in the last image comment. But I never saw this done at a funeral. I took a few photos. I feel that no one would like it and I find out I was right. No one say nothing to me but the white shirt man wish some photos from me. I got more some looks surreal to me. So if you wish I post them here then get back to the dancers and other stuff I took photos of like a art walk and a office space people wish to rent. It never ends.
thanks for the comments and all. I know I say I was not going to be around but I just got home and I tried. Ran off the road one time for falling asleep lol wake up in time. thank God. So I stop a few more times just to wake up

Well, sir, I got no problem with these photos. Its a ritual we all go through sooner or later on one end or the other. I usually take pictures at the viewing or quietly from a far corner of the church or cemetary - use the zoom. but this to me is a fitting and somber depiction and a good clear shot at that. I liek the ways the woods close in on the edge of the cemetery. Keeps the residents save and snug in the arms of mother nature. If someone objects to this it will have to be someone other than me.
my son is on the far right but he out of the photo. I was not thinking at the time just clicking that all. Missed a lot of good shots that way.
Curious shot, but it is an very interresant photography ! We are only dust !!!
ohhhhhhhhhh---waaaaaaaaa---too close to home for me jocko but I didn't want to ignore your post: gives me the chills:
Great POV, balance and lighting in this composition, Jocko! Photos like this don't bother me one iota. This is all part of existence. I like the orangey color of the dirt/earth/soil. Incidentally, we don't all end up like this....sometimes we're cremated, our ashes then put into a container or vase, or sprinkled into the ocean. Also, for a certain fee, you can have your ashes rocketed into outer space.
Just don't fall in, Jocko!
I have no problem with this shot at all Jock. It is an excellent capture. The only certain thing in life is death. If we make the most of the time inbetween we are doing OK. I would like to see your other shots. I am sorry you are so tired :-( Please take care.. I'll run and get a blanket and pillow, you can sleep under the tree with stars to look at above you. Take care. Hugs. Di.
There Is Nothing Wrong With This Shot As This Is Life!!.......Take Care Jock!!!!!!!
people say that anything this side of dirt is doing pretty damn good and I agree. I bought two graves side by side years ago and have thought several times to sell since the value is way up.excellent capture
Nothing is lost , nothing is created , everything is transformed and life goes on Jocko ............ Take care my friend.....
I've never seen this as part of the ceremony but it makes a lot of sense. Kind of a final closure I suppose. Interesting custom and a great shot!
When my father died, when I was a wee one, I remembe we all walked to the pile of dirt, like you have showing here, and one at a time we all took a handful of dirt, and through it in the hole on top of the coffin. I have never seen that done again, until I went to a funeral of a "Native American", and there I saw it done. It made me cry. This is a fantastic photo .. is this family members throwing shovel fulls of dirt in? And then workers follow later and finish filling the grave over?
My prayers and thoughts to all. Aloha
Excellent action capture! That dirt has a very beautiful color! :) We'll all get there but there's no rush!!!
No problem with this photo..we will go at the same place! :)
Somber, but powerful. I say post the other ones, too.
Birth, Life, School, Work, Death!!!!!!! It will Eventually End, but in this Age, not in the Dispensation!!!
Excellent capture of the moment, no problem which this image, life and death belong together...
I see no problem with this. Indeed it is Part of Life & Death! Oh my Jock! I'm happy to hear you did not do yourslf in! Remember this next time you take those long trips, and get rested 1st, and while STOPED 1st! ;)
It's life.. raw and real! Excellent job! Post what makes YOU feel right!
intresting shot, just show them all, as someone stated earlier death is part of life too. I like this better then those heavie pothoshoped gothic grave stone pics, I think those are for the sedated people who linger in a sort of suicide romantism, your pics shows the real world, well done.
Nope, not upset...good one !!!
A shovel of dirt in the face and the insult of life is over. The one that began as the eyes peeped open after exiting the vagina.
This is life Jock. Awesome shot and yes would like to see the rest
You do take some photos many would overlook..I am glad you do that. No problem with this one..a very common event but rarely seen in a photo. Thanks.
Great shot considering the subject! (:
I hope you knew the people.
Long time gone. Respect for the dead.
Curious and sad capture.... Take care Jock!
YES GOOD ONE
