😮 I just became aware that the spooky theme is #LastWords for today's #PalacesAndGardens. I should have been doing this all day! Here's a perfect one for #October & #Halloween. The tomb of Pope Alexander VII in the Vatican, with a close up view of the famous skeleton representing Death. #Photography

#PalacesandGardens & #LastWords, by #MrCalvin "Okay, having to jump in here. This whole theme seems kind of grim. Death and all. But it's about Life. Guess what My People will see when they look at this old rock. Yep. Same with headstones." #MementoMori yes but #MementoVivere #CalvinWasHere

#PalacesAndGardens theme of #LastWords "It's #AboveGround too. Some choose to have their final resting place in a #Mausoleum. While individuals with resources can have a mini palace, many chose this neighborly colective." -mick #MickPic #MementoMori #SkylineMemorial #MountainViewMemorial

All things come in threes, right? So far this morning I showed up on the wrong day for my Covid shot, I lost my balance during yoga class and fell on my elbow, and my son just told me that the shirt I’m wearing is inside out. Splendid! Maybe I should eat that cookie and go back to bed. 🤔🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️😂

At the Chateau de Chenonceau in the Loire, one of the rooms is painted black with black curtains. It was the bedroom of Louise de Lorraine, whose husband, King Henri III, was assassinated in 1589. She remained in mourning the last 12 years of her life. For today's #PalacesandGardens #LastWords

A very old graveyard from the 1800's... The word "THINK" was etched into a tombstone ... Sadly, there are a lot of young children's graves ... #PalacesandGardens #LastWords #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky#ImageandVerse #31DaysofHalloween #ECK

I was a bit stuck for #PalacesandGardens #LastWords and then today we called at Malmesbury Abbey and lo and behold was a monument to King Athelstan, the first king of the whole of England in AD 925. #Cotswolds #Photography #Churches
