Trase of life..., a photo from Zlinsky, Moravia

Photographer's Note

I like to look for traces of life, it's a vivid picture of existence in this world.
During the walk around the museum I met two interesting tombstones next to the church.
Here is the second of them.
Here, I was fascinated by the miniature sculpture.
I wonder what she symbolizes?

It's a skylight, a fairy tale character.

Jan Karafiát (4 January 1846 — 31 January 1929) was a Czech clergyman of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren and author. He is best known for his classic children's book Brouèci, the Czech language word for beetle, that was first published in the early 1870s. Traditional Czech figurines of fairylike insect people are based on the characters in the book. He is also known for his poetry, which often reflected his religious beliefs, additionally he was one of the reviewers of Bible kralická - the first Czech protestant translation of the Bible.(wiki)

The Wallachian Open-Air Museum (Vala¹ské muzeum v pøírodì) is an open-air museum in Ro¾nov pod Radho¹tìm, Moravian Wallachia, the Czech Republic.
The museum is dedicated to preserving and presenting Wallachian material culture and traditions.

Hi Krzysztof,

The vegetation is adding a touch of nature to the lot. The point of view is showing the details of the tombstone, it is a way to remember a relative of the family. The light is enhancing the colours. Have a nice day.

Krzyzstof, that tomb is encircled by a charming little fence in wood. It is surmonted by a sculpture that represents a boy with a lantern. He wears a cape. Fine colors, good sharpness, interesting photo note, regards.

Czesc Krzysztof,
ale uroczy nagrobek! W czasach koronawirusa pewnie nas spala i zakopia w rowie :(
Swietny dodatek do Twojej kolekcji cmentarzy.
Mialem napisac ze pierwszy raz widze grob z napisem po czesku ale sobie przyomnialem ze wklejalem niedawno zdjecie domniemanego grobu sw Wojciecha.
Piekna pogoda tylko pozazdroscic. A Czechia podobno zamknieta wiec zdjecie rarytas :)
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,
M
