This strafed gravestone is the obvious target of a large Kamikaze bird with some gastrointestinal problems.  Unfortunately for me, and you the viewer, I was not equiped on my visit to the King’s Chapel Cemetery in Boston to wipe it clean before I snapped this.  But, the imagery on the 22-year old Rebecca Gerrish’s gravestone is spectacular.  Here a candle is being snuffed out by a skeleton holding the snuffer and a winged Father Time holding an hourglass trying to stop the inevitable.  The symbolism is hard to miss.  The flame on the candle being put out represents a young life that is over.  Father Time reminds us that life is short and the visage of the skeleton calls to the viewer to remember that death is always near.
