I recently met a friend in Kosciusko, Ms for a girls day out. Of course we went shopping and out for lunch, but we also had to visit the city cemetary. We love old cemetaries-they have such beautiful old monuments. Are we weird? Anyway this cemetary has a famous monument-a life size statue. The story is this lady died and her husband had this life size-look alike statue built so he could look out his upstairs window and see her everyday. Well he remarried later and I wonder what the second wife thought about looking out the bedroom window and seeing the first wife every day? HMMM!
Aren't these deep shadows cool and relaxing looking? Especially on a hot Mississippi day. I am joining http://www.heyharriet.blogspot.com for Shadow Shot Sunday.

As a second wife, I can honestly say that I bet the second wife of this gentleman wasn't very happy about seeing the statute, ever how beautiful it may be, daily. But, it is better than seeing the first wife in person everyday.
I guess I wouldn't have wanted to live in the house with that particular view.
The statute is beautiful though.
And cemetaries are wonderful sources of history.
We have lots of very old cemeteries here (in the glorious Scottish Borders) - but I've never seen such a stunning monument to a departed loved one!!
So Laura was only 38 when she died!! I love old cemetaries too. Very cool shots.
Like those photos! Would like to see more of old cemetaries like this. Nice idea.

These lovelies reminds me of Mystic River. Beautiful...I love walking through cemeteries.
Ribbit...hope you can join me sometime today! Happy week.
Oh wow, this is a bit creepy to me. :)
That is a sweet and romantic story. The statue is quite beautiful. Those are great shots, old cemeteries are really interesting.
I'm a second wife, too, and I'm not sure I would appreciate that site out my window every morning!! I find cemeteries fascinating. This was very interesting.
And he put his first wife on a pedestal to boot!
MY BLINGLESS SHADOW
A shadow’s an odd sort of thing;
It might have a nose or a wing,
A tail like a dog,
A bump like a log,
But one thing it has not is bling!
