Local artist Harley with his unfinished work. The point of the visit was not to highlight his work but to engage him in conversation - about life, death and other matters. Harley’s wife passed some months ago and adjusting has been a challenge, understandably for a relationship of over 50 years. Rarely have I known a person to have lived as large as this man. Perhaps a book of short stories may be in order to properly document his life. A project to be considered for the coming year.
A view of the coast from Wombarra cemetery grounds, themselves a source of interest with fallen gravestones and outlandish decorations. This would be another photo project to give this place new life ; )
A pleasant view from the edge of the cemetery. You can view the antics of the ocean from the safety of the rock pool.
Even headstones die.
Many of the residents may be feeling a little queazy due to the lopsided view they now have of the ocean. The land has subsided in places causing many graves to tilt and their edges to crack and break apart.
A shady location for one of the oldest residents.
