In memorium. In defiance.

This is the photograph from HPL's grave last August 20th, the one the security guard tried to force Kathryn to delete. Previously, I have printed it only in Sirenia Digest. It seems the least I can do today, to put it online:



There are two more behind the cut, two I have never shown before:









And I will note that one year after a security guard threatened to call the police for having photographed the grave, the Swan Point Cemetery's website, which has a long list of forbidden activity, still does not include photography of graves as something visitors are not permitted to do.

Why on earth would photography of graves be forbidden?

Wow. I always take photos at cemeteries and haven't been approached by anyone yet. These are beautiful. Thanks for posting them.

O.o

Maybe next time you should tell him to back off or you'll release the thousands of souls you have in your camera at him.

hahahahahahahahahaha

Wait... is that considered a threat?

Gorgeous pictures. I particularly like the one with the pennies/shells/frog on top if it. :D

Is the no-photo rule posted onsite? I've always "known" that it's not permitted there, but I can't remember now if I saw it on a sign or heard it by word of mouth.

(Still sneak some photos when I go there, though.)

I like the frog.

Thank you for sharing these photos.

The fact that you and Spooky were treated so rudely at Swan Point still boggles my mind. Here in my part of the world, I've never heard of anyone being hassled for visiting the grave of Lovecraft's friend, Robert E. Howard. Perhaps because in this uptight "Christian" area, no one thinks we're out to steal Bob's soul? (Or perhaps they figure he's beyond theft, seeing as how he chose to end his own life, and they do cast rather a jaundiced eye on such as that.)
