I don't know about that. It sure looks pretty permanent to me.
This cemetery sign always makes me laugh to myself as I drive past to visit a friend. I've always wanted to take a picture of it, so yesterday I finally did. (Click on image to enlarge.)
Wow! I wonder if anyone else caught the unplanned humor in that sign? BTW, your photos have a nice lighting quality to them. Some are like waking dreams, even of ordinary subjects.

Ha! Still, what is permanence?

In the words of the Magic Eight Ball, "Reply hazy, ask again later."
Now that the rains have gone, maybe permanence can be seen more clearly. :-)
Let me gather my dancing atoms and then respond. It may take a while. Ah, but what is clarity ...?

Thanks, Michael! I appreciate that. Some of them feel like waking dreams, that little bit of magic still clinging to them.
