The Headstone
Here is a close up of the headstone. The rose bush does tend to get in the
way of the inscription, which reads:
HERE LIES
ERIC ARTHUR BLAIR
BORN JUNE 25th 1903
DIED JANUARY 21st 1950
I love the way the stone is weathering, with streaks of lichen growing on it.
It is holding up much better than other stones that are just a few years older;
the lettering is still very sharp and the edges show little sign of wear.
I use this photo as my desktop wallpaper on my machine at home.
