A black and white close up photo shows several commemorative objects resting on a polished granite surface, likely a tombstone or memorial.

From left to right: a small, empty, clear glass jar with a black lid; a stack of paper or perhaps a small, open book; a small figurine of a winged fairy seated near the center; and a tall, slender black metal lantern with glass panes.

The objects are in sharp focus, while the background, which contains flowers, is softly blurred.

A close up photograph of a historically significant, simple grave marker at the Kingston on Murray Cemetery.  A small white stone plaque, leaning slightly, is clearly readable and marks the grave of Franz Edwin Obke, noting he was "ACCIDENTALLY KILLED 1908."  The grave is outlined by a rough, reddish-brown brick border, and in the center rests an old, cloudy glass jar holding a withered flower, signifying a recent or ongoing tribute.  The surrounding ground is sparse and dirt-covered, emphasizing the isolated, historic nature of the resting place. Signed Kev Peirce.

Jóvenes que votan por Milei (algo fisurados) más chicos en el cementerio que en la escuela, soja? Un «pueblo blanco» en la frontera entre Buenos Aires y La Pampa

Un Topo Por El Mundo en Colonia Rivera, Provincia de Buenos Aires, cerca de la frontera con La Pampa

Se entiende que en los videos de viajes hay que hacer todo medio pum para arriba pero, a veces, la realidad te salta a la vista.

Me llamó la atención los dos chicos del comienzo, parecían algo fisurados el trader que vota por Milei!

La escuela que tiene 3 chicas/chicos y el cementerio que tiene 250 chicos enterrados!

El teatro, parece muy lindo, irá tanta gente, se habrá construído para otros tiempos.

Me quedo pensando en cómo mostrar algo así?

Si no alquilás un auto no podés llegar, y parece un lugar lindo! El campo atrás del cementerio, que, parece, que está para plantar, se ve tierra, no hay plantas, estará en barbecho para plantar soja?

Demasiadas preguntas!

St Johns Cemetery, Tanunda, South Australia.

Established in 1865, the cemetery was created following the closure of an earlier burial ground closer to St John's Church in Tanunda.

It reflects the heritage of early German settlers in the Barossa Valley, many of whom were part of the Lutheran community that shaped the region's cultural and religious identity.

The cemetery is notable for its fine memorial carvings and sculptures, showcasing artistic skill and reverence for the deceased.

A central octagonal chapel, built in 1940, serves as a focal point and adds architectural distinction to the site.

Recognized as a State Heritage Place since 1997, the cemetery is valued not just for individual graves but as a cohesive cultural landscape.
