Pixim from Nice, France
Sad and horrible, not of criticism but only one reality in plain face :(
18 Nov 2008 6:11pm
@Pixim: Sad indeed. A child's grave, some time unattended, with totally weathered dolls.
Peety from Amersfoort, Netherlands
Gecondoleerd maar wel een mooi foto. (fijne avond)

@Peety: Is geen familie hoor. Zomaar een verwaarloosd en verregend grafje. Triest. Dank je, hetzelfde.
@rem_la: (No family!) Thanks for your visit.
@Toomaj: (No family of mine.) Thanks for your visit.
@Paco Díaz: Indeed, so sad, so lonely. (No familiy of mine). Thanks for your visit.
Laurent from Lyon, France
I have 4 month old daughter and this picture is "talking" to me. I could not imagine her toys on a grave

@Laurent: (It's no familiy of mine) But yes, so are my feelings too. Weathered dolls on a grave!
Thanks for visiting.
@Giovanni: Thank you for visiting.
Paul from Netherlands
ondanks het trieste is het een " to the point beeld" , zonder poespas. En dat maakt een foto als deze sterk. Het contrast tussen het vrolijke (knuffels en het woord zonnetje) en de dood had je niet beter uit kunnen beelden!

@Paul: Een beetje beroemde lassootje was nodig voor saturatieverschil tussen poppen en de rest. Gr. Alphons

It is sad, but is an interesting capture, too. Well documented.

A touching image that speaks about the act of remembrance as well as loss.

akarui from Kagoshima, Japan
This child died just after having 1 year old... First time to see dolls on a grave.

@akarui: It's a new spontaneous informal rite in Holland (and other countries too ?).
Thank you for your visit and see you again.

Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
The child was loved. Someone left dolls in death because they could not be given in life. So sad for the parents who left the dolls.

@Michael Skorulski: Thanks for your extensive comment and visit. See you again.

Cela ne me surprends pas! étant médecin , j'ai été confronté à une certaine misère de n'abondons en tous genre, alors une tombe possible, image au demeurant de vérité, très triste.

Monique from Koh Samui, Thailand
Vreselijk, net een jaar oud ... je vraagt je af waarom! Mooi weergegeven, zelfs de natuur treurt.
19 Nov 2008 5:08pm
@Monique: Ja, en zo triest dat dan vrolijke poppen op het graf liggen maar helemaal triest verregend en verweerd zijn.
Tot ziens.
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
Quite sad. There is a little church where I live that has the grave of a Dutch girl. (het is netjes bijgehouden ook).
19 Nov 2008 7:28pm
@Observing: (In Dutch?) Die poppen op een graf zijn vrolijk, maar verregend maken ze heel droevig. Bedankt.
@Ana Lúcia: Thank you.
