| Headstone peeking through the bushes, Olsany Cemetery, Prague |
As I mentioned below, much of the cemetery is overgrown. Regardless of the direction you were looking, you could see nothing but headstones and mausoleums. Although it may be weird, I enjoyed being in the presence of such death because in a sense, I was also in the presence of such life. I felt blessed by the lives that lay beneath me and knew they were all wishing me well as I tip-toed on their headstones in polite curiosity.
I took this photo above as I was walking to meet back with the group. I saw Anna Rodina Beranova peeking through the bushes and knew that she probably wanted to wish me well on my travels. It is clear by her fresh flowers, that people she knew and loved still know and love her. I wanted to let her stay forever in my digital image library as another way for her life to live on.
In looking at this photo, the leaves almost spread in the shape of a heart, another visual aspect that drew me to take it. I think this photo accurately depicts the life this cemetery holds.
Hopefully, I'll be able to go back to Olsany before I leave Prague. I really enjoyed the experience and would like to get a chance to walk all over the ground.
