Today my photo teacher took me to a cemetary where I took quite a few really cool photos. Will post four-five of them.

What cemetery was this in? Do you happen to remember the family name on it?

It was in a cemetary in Budapest, Hungary, and no, I don't remember the family name.

It's the one on Street Fiumei in Budapest, I don't know if it has a particular name or not.

Very nice picture. A motive I would choose for my photography, too. ;)

Is it okay if I do an oil pastel of this? I like this statue a lot.

This statue us called the Angel of Grief, it is a 1894 sculpture by William Wetmore Story which also serves as the grave stone of the artist and his wife at the Protestant Cemetery in Rome. There are many more replicas through out the World. There are 3 in the San Francisco Bay Area in California alone. Most notably is the one that is at the Stanford Mausoleum at Stanford University, which replaced the one created in 1901 that was destroyed after the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906.

Little did you know that you were photographing a some what famous statue, eh? Not only are you learning about photography but also got a little bit of a history lesson too. :)

The Angel of Grief statue is one of my favorite statues that I visit often. [Grieve Not] is from one of my favorite cemeteries where she resides.
