Do the dead Dream?
Do those at rest Remember?
Do they think of us,
as we think of them?
Do they fade as the memories fade?
Do they diminish at each forgotten reminiscence?
Do they wane into shadow,
or is it we who become the lesser,
for memories forgotten?

Camera used was a Kodak Z612 EasyShare. The picture was taken Friday, Oct. 23rd, 2009, at the old Monterey cemetery. The picture was solarized, and then the exposure settings were played with.
