Grave


This grave is over 200 hundred years old. It is only marked with a skull and crossbones believed to represent that the person died from the plague, which was rife at that time. Or does it represent a pirate grave.

  1. Wow Alex, that is a unbelievably gorgeous grave stone... you know me, I love the poetry such an image evokes... Pirate or plague victim? Old or young ? Male female ? Pure mystery, haunting image... beautiful job !
