Photographers Note
This photo is the 2nd photo in "Cemetery" series. If you ask me, "Why do you take photos in such morbid places?", I tell you that where I am right now, the town is not very photogenic. There's a hospital, there's a university and there's a cemetery. That's it. Thus, I resort to taking weird photos in cemeteries.
Now about the photo: I was walking around the cemetery with the oxymoronic theme of "Life in a Cemetery". While expecting to photograph ghosts walking around and drinking tea, I actually found some life in the cemetery this time. The tombstone, which I cut out the name for privacy reasons, belonged to a lady that died in 1928!!, that is 79 years of solitude...until now, when this little squirrel decided to pay a visit to the dead. I hope you enjoy the mediocre photo featuring the dead and the living.

I think this would have worked better with a portrait orientation, to show us more of the gravestone and maybe some sky behind. Still, an interesting photo.

sevgili erdem,
fotoğrafına konu olan mekanın insana verdiği duygunun aksine çok güzel bir yaşam karesi

Hi Erdem,
The place is unusual for a squirrel and much more unusual for the yellow weed (Tabac du diable in French) 5 feet high just facing the animal.
Here the annimal seems to know already the bad taste when smoking this devil tobacco.
