Mostly the other passengers were in their 70s, short and a little overweight, wearing black. Predominantly they were female, but not exclusively. I followed them; they were all in a jolly mood; and, they all seemed to know each other well.
Mostly, they were Greek. Am I supposed to say 'of Greek extraction'? Anyways, they were Greek. They led me to the most beautifully maintained section of any cemetery I have ever visited. *whispers* I think they compete with each other. *shhh*
Shall show you more over the next few days.
Fabulous, Julie. I hope they're not into blogging, because I wouldn't want published photos of me, in a skirt, bending over like that, but this is a great picture!

How lovely that they were in a jolly mood. Nicely taken as it could be a difficult area - not wanting to intrude.
ReplyDeleteThis photo tells such a story. I love it.
ReplyDeleteA sweet story - a sweet picture. and look at all those beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteMade me smile. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAn enjoyable photo and a puckish commentary.
ReplyDeleteWonderful capture.
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh. Some have been known to be quite competitive, even at the cemetery. :)
ReplyDeleteThis made me chuckle out loud Julie, adore the photo and the wordage..hilarious. Brilliant post.
ReplyDeleteGrinning from ear to ear. It's nice to wax somewhat anthropological in a cemetery.
ReplyDeleteThis bums up photo is wonderful. It speaks so much of that generation of women regardless of their extraction.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad a pilgrimage like this can be enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteThank you for you words of appreciation, folks. Yes, I can understand that some pilgrimages are sombre, but this was anything but.
ReplyDeleteUse your wide-angled lens on this one? Sorry, couldn't resist.
ReplyDeleteoh, Julie, how I love that you abandoned your plans to go on this adventure.
ReplyDeleteOh this is marvelous. You get the prize today and I"ve only read about 5 blogs, but this cannot be topped, or bottomed! :)

Joan Elizabeth's comment put enough of a smile on my face that I think I can get back to grading papers!!!
ReplyDeleteSo much to ponder in these photos and words.... For once, I am speechless..... in deep reflection.
You have to smile when you see this.
ReplyDeleteA capture which speaks a lot!
ReplyDeleteWow...lovely flowers a lined. It is always good to see different flowers in different colors.
ReplyDeleteThe bums up pose is such a dry touch of humour in a usually dark place! Great commentary and great photo!
