It was worse than I ever remember. I think the vandalism must be increasing. :-(

Marie said...: That's sad. But still they are beautiful anyway. The victory of Samothrace lost her head long ago, and the Venus of Milo lost her arms long ago too. But there were real Vandals at that time!; June 17, 2008 at 10:16 AM

Mary Stebbins Taitt said...: The cemetery no longer wants people taking pictures, so I had to do it surreptitiously. I guess they don't want publicity for the damage being done by vandals. It is very sad and seems to be getting wo5rse exponentially.

They are still pretty, though.

The neighborhood has gotten bad and the children are bored and not supervised. :-(; June 18, 2008 at 12:25 PM
Sylvain said...: Even if you don't believe in God, you must respect holy places. That's very disturbing and foolish to desecrate places like that.; June 21, 2008 at 4:43 PM
Mary Stebbins Taitt said...: Yes I agree, all sacred and holy places should be celebrated and protected.

I'd also like to see artwork protected, too.; June 21, 2008 at 11:18 PM
