February 6-Graveyard shift


I was driving past the original Regina Cemetery on 4th Avenue and Broad street when I thought I would go in and see if there were any interesting headstones to take photos of.

Even though vandals destroyed many tombstones (or memorials as they are now called), there are still some very interesting ones left.

This one caught my eye.

She stands atop the final resting place of Thomas Young, who died in 1907 (according to the City of Regina Cemetery database.) She has been standing, mournfully looking down at all the graves around her in this place of solitude for over 103 years. I wonder who will guard over my grave ... and could they outlast her?
