DEATH, DUENDE, MASKS, TOMBSTONES, AND GHOSTS.

People are interested in death, masks, tombstones, and ghosts.

People crave immortality and, not surprisingly, this desire manifests itself in everything from tombstone monuments to vampires, all forms art, poems, songs, and stories.

Join us in contemplating the dark and weird. Share your melancholy, share your dreams, share the bizarre, and share the humorous.

I'm sorry that you've been unwell lately. Take care!

Comment by Carla Cryptic on March 15, 2011 at 6:17am: Oh, and thanks for the tip, Prosthet! Why didn't I think of using Google Earth to check out cemeteries!? Sheesh! Sometimes I just don't make certain connections. I use it for all kinds of other adventures. ;)

Comment by Carla Cryptic on March 15, 2011 at 6:14am: BTW, Fleur, I have spent many a happy hour taking photos at the Catholic cemetery just up the street from you! If I am ever well again (have had some awful bug for weeks), we ought to hook up and take photos there together. ;)

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on March 14, 2011 at 4:14pm: I used to live just outside of Maastricht, in the Deep South of the Netherlands. Between Maastricht and Vaals (where the Dutch German border is) is a village called margraten. In Margraten there is an American Military Cemetery (AMC) -- one of many in the Ardennes area, all of which look exactly like Arlington.

We used to have a very part-time and not usually-very sober gardener. His father was one of the locals who were employed in the AMC graveyard when it was established immediately after WW2. Over a glass of Dutch gin one evening, he told us that there were X American troops buried in the AMC Margraten, but that the true number of people buried there was actually X+1 because he had illegally buried his father there when he died; Only he knew the exact location of his father's grave (which was not marked in any official way).

Regards, Val
