I am hesitant to complain to the city council about this hand-rail. It not only has this patch of rust, but the post just out of the picture actually has separated from the ground and hangs in mid-air. I am afraid they'll just remove the (very useful) steps the hand-rail is on. Fuji 200 film that expired in mid-2002, shot in Olympus 35DC.

This is the nearest graveyard to my house and I walk through it a lot. Buried there are many of the well-to-do citizens of this town in the hundred years after it was established in the mid-1800s, and it includes a few pretty nice pieces of sculpture. It is called the "General Protestant Cemetery." Meant primarily for Methodists, there's a certain No-Show-Offs-Here tone to most of the graves. But this is the grave of the family of one of the prime ministers of Newfoundland (he himself, Robert Bond, is mentioned on the inscription but not actually buried there) and it projects an image of power and righteousness. It isn't the only angel in the GPC, but it is the biggest. He seems to be holding on to his sword, sheathed on his left side, so perhaps this is meant to be the Archangel Michael, ready to pull it out. This picture, taken in late April 2017, is on Fuji 200 film (expired in July 2002) shot in my Olympus 35DC. In cleaning up the spots on the negative, I noticed that the angel has lost two or three fingers; probably the stones of children who feared not. ----------------------------- EDIT, a few hours later: After looking at a picture of this angel I took in 1985 (!), taken from the other side, I see that in the angel's left hand is a horn, not a sword: that's Angel Gabriel, not Michael. Duhhh. And it isn't even the angel on the Bond grave, either! Double duhh. The Bond angel is carrying a basket, and looks very demure by comparison.
