All Souls' Day
Cemetery in Bethel Alaska
"It was a remarkable aesthetic... Some graves had shrines with niches peopled by saints; some looked like botanical gardens of paper and silk; other had the initials of loved ones spelled out on the mound in white stones. The unifying principal was that the simplest thing was done with the greatest of care. It was a comfort to see this attention lavished on the dead. In these families you would never stop being loved." Excerpt from the book "Animal Dreams" by Barbara Kingsolver
Take care- Megan
