SmugMug > keywords > graves > Daily 11/6/09. Taken last winter in my cemetery. Seattle, WA.
SmugMug > keywords > graves > November 6th, 2009 A collection of ornate headstones marking centuries-old graves in Settlers' Cemetery, Charlotte, North Carolina. Best viewed in a larger size. The Richmond Craftsmen's Christmas Classic Arts & Crafts Show opens today at the Raceway (former fairgrounds)! Show hours are 10 am to 9 pm today. If you're in the area, please come out and say hi -- I'm in booth 2220 -- the one with mostly cat-related goodies for sale. :-)
SmugMug > keywords > graves > November 5th, 2009 Another of the fancy gravestones in Charlotte, North Carolina's Settlers' Cemetery, which is located downtown. If you view this larger, you'll see this one marks the burial place of at least 3 family members. Do wish I'd seen the hospital sign in the background before taking this picture. But on second thought, it lends a certain air of irony to the shot (read the inscription on the grave!) so I opted not to omit it. Today is setup for the Richmond Christmas Craftsmen's Classic Arts & Crafts Show (say that 3 times fast!) so it will be a very long day. The show opens tomorrow!

SmugMug > keywords > graves > November 4th, 2009 One of the many ornate headstones found in Settlers' Cemetery in downtown Charlotte, North Carolina. This one marks the grave of a less-than-two-month-old baby boy...
SmugMug > keywords > graves > November 3rd, 2009 Another shot from the Charlotte, NC Settlers' Cemetery. It was dark enough that the street lamps came on automatically. This is best viewed in a larger size. We stopped by to see my mother last night on the way home and decided on impulse to stay overnight. Hadn't seen her since Mother's Day last May! For those who remember her double bout with cancer last year (breast & lung), she's doing as well as can be expected post-surgeries. No chemo and no radiation was needed, something for which we are very thankful.
SmugMug > keywords > graves > November 2nd, 2009 Settler's Cemetery is located in the heart of downtown Charlotte. Graves date as far back as the 1700's. Surprisingly, the Gothic church in the distance isn't associated with the cemetery. Yesterday was very grey, so I chose to shoot in black & white. On the road today heading back to Virginia.
SmugMug > keywords > graves > Prophecy Rock & Fire Clan Tablets So where is the missing piece of the Fire Clan tablet and who is taking it to the Hopi Elders as promised in the Prophecy of Masau'wu? i honestly don't know who, but i have heard the missing piece of the tablet is in safekeeping with someone who lives near a sacred well in the northern part of Te Wai Pounamu (the South Island of Aotearoa - NZ). One thing about prophecies... they are always open to interpretation. As for Prophecy Rock: 'Near Oraibi, Arizona, there is a petroglyph known as Prophecy Rock which symbolizes many Hopi prophecies. Its interpretation is: The large human figure on the left is the Great Spirit. The bow in his left hand represents his instructions to the Hopi to lay down their weapons. The vertical line to the right of the Great Spirit is a time scale in thousands of years. The point at which the great Spirit touches the line is the time of his return. The "life path" established by the Great Spirit divides into the lower, narrow path of continuous Life in harmony with nature and the wide upper road of white man's scientific achievements. The bar between the paths, above the cross, is the coming of white men; the Cross is that of Christianity. The circle below the cross represents the continuous Path of Life. The four small human figures on the upper road represent, on one level, the past three worlds and the present; on another level, the figures indicate that some of the Hopi will travel the white man's path, having been seduced by its glamour. The two circles on the lower Path of Life are the "great shaking of the earth" (World Wars One and Two). The swastika in the sun and the Celtic cross represent the two helpers of Pahana, the True White Brother. The short line that returns to the straight Path of Life is the last chance for people to turn back to nature before the upper road disintegrates and dissipates. The small circle above the Path of Life, after the last chance, is the Great Purification, after which corn will grow in abundance again when the Great Spirit returns. And the Path of Life continues forever... The Hopi shield in the lower right corner symbolizes the Earth and the Four-Corners area where the Hopi have been reserved. The arms of the cross also represent the four directions in which they migrated according to the instructions of the Great Spirit. The dots represent the four colors of Hopi corn, and the four racial colors of humanity.' Dr Allen Ross And i'll leave it to a Hopi Elder to explain the petroglyph in more detail: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9Vhivi6nws
