[00:25.62]Photo of the dead
[00:30.94]死亡照片
[00:36.97]A white marble cross that marked their graves
[00:39.64]had been broken off at the base,
[00:42.25]perhaps by vandals or a lightning bolt,
[00:45.83]and had fallen on the ground at the head of the tomb.
[00:49.16]Small, orange wildflowers were growing up around it.
[00:53.69]This might not have been so unusual
[00:56.04]except for the fact
[00:57.37]that they were the only flowers growing anywhere
[00:59.90]in the cemetery 1.
[01:01.87]The contrast of these symbols of life and springtime
[01:05.02]next to a symbol of death was so striking,
[01:08.73]I decided 2 to take a photograph of it.
[01:11.25]I took my camera out of my backpack
[01:13.70]and started looking for a good angle
[01:16.07]for the photograph but couldn't find one.
[01:19.52]I decided that the best angle
[01:21.32]would be from the top of the tomb
[01:23.44]looking straight down at the cross,
[01:25.95]but I felt that standing 3 on it would be disrespectful
[01:29.88]so I took a few shots from other angles.
[01:32.93]Unsatisfied, I said to the young couple buried there,
[01:36.63]"Excuse me. I don't mean any disrespect
[01:39.92]but I'd just like to stand on your tomb for a second
[01:42.71]to take a picture of your flowers.
[01:44.97]I hope you don't mind."
[01:47.34]Hoping I had won their approval,
[01:50.06]I stood on the lid
[01:51.30]and took the photo from the angle I wanted.
[01:54.24]I can't recall feeling any cold sensations
[01:57.78]or chills other than the ones I was already riddled
[02:01.24]with due to my overactive imagination.
[02:05.16]I stepped down from the tomb and said thank you.
[02:08.66]Before I left,
[02:09.56]I picked up their cross
[02:10.87]and put it back in place on their tomb.
[02:14.61]The break was clean so it fit like a puzzle piece.
[02:18.61]The sun was setting quickly
[02:20.48]and I was worried about finding my way back in the dark,
[02:25.02]so I decided to head home.
[02:27.31]I walked through the creaky, old gate again
[02:30.29]and kick-started the motorcycle.
[02:32.99]After being immersed in such profound silence
[02:36.31]for so long,
[02:37.82]the noise of the engine seemed louder than ever.
