Even the tall and beautiful sculpture of a mourning angel will someday be hidden beneath the dense foilage of the beautiful Highgate Cemetery in London and thus creating a strong memento mori. The cemetery was opened in 1839 and is still in use. Especially the west part of the cemetery, where these images are from is very much overgrown, making a visit there a spectacular experience of both life, death and nature. Image 2/5
