Photos of the Day for December 7, 2014

Stone-Cross Tombstones, Babtsy Cemetery 2014.  Каменныя крыжы, могілкі ў в. Бабцы 2014 г.

One of the largest of the more than 25 stone crosses in the Babtsy cemetery.  The authorities’ regrettable cutting down of old trees in this section of the cemetery has left the area open to the spread of wild grasses and other undesirable vegetation.

About a dozen stone-cross tombstones are clustered in this corner of the cemetery.  They appear to be 19th-century or earlier.

Note the varying designs of the crosses.
