Headless

A pair of statues, each lacking its head.

From Oakwood Cemetery:

I rather like this one. It seems almost...natural that she's headless; or at least, it doesn't detract much from the overall statue.

  1. Love this blog. If you are ever interested in a related hobby, you might like letterboxing. There are many letterboxes hidden in cemeteries. That is how we became interested in cemeteries...through letterboxing. Check out letterboxing.org.
