@Hoopand: Many thanks for your comment. I have tested your suggestion and it's a different image, a different feeling. I like the B&W but here, we loose the green parts contrasting with the white stone. Perhaps I need some practise in B&W. It's in my mind for later...
Le deuil epitomise! Merveilleux!

@Sidonie: Merci Sidonie. Aujourd'hui, l'argent est plus fort que le symbolisme.
This is another incredible series of yours Henry! This place is captivating and full of good inspiration for us fellows photographers. Cannot help but think of Rice's books about vampires and such... They knew how to build (with enough money) impressive family graves. Superbly captured.

@ManuelaR: Thank you very much Manuela. As you said, it's a fabulous place for photographers. It's why this series is quite long. Maybe too much long (till the 12th of May) ! But there are so many ways to look at these family graves and they are so different and so graphic...
