[00:25.66]Photo of the dead
[00:30.90]死亡照片
[00:37.60]As I rode home in the gathering 1 darkness,
[00:41.21]I thought about all the faces I had seen in the curled
[00:44.35]and yellowed photographs of the people buried
[00:46.81]in the lonely, abandoned cemetery 2,
[00:49.94]about the dreams they might have had,
[00:52.50]and where they were now.
[00:54.70]I had found the solitude 3 I was seeking,
[00:57.43]but it was tainted 4 with sadness,
[01:00.13]particularly because of the young couple.
[01:03.05]There was peace in the old cemetery
[01:05.29]but it was a dark peace
[01:07.00]and I was eager to get back to the resort,
[01:10.09]and to living.
[01:12.48]I left Greece a few days later
[01:14.87]and traveled elsewhere for several more months.
[01:19.35]I didn't develop the film
[01:20.99]until after I returned to California.
[01:24.11]I took three to four hundred photographs on that trip,
[01:27.69]and only about ten at that cemetery.
[01:30.59]But of all the photos I took,
[01:33.03]only one has an abnormality
[01:37.22]- the one I took
[01:38.19]while standing 5 on the tomb of the young couple.
[01:41.81]A white mist swirls 6 upward from the bottom
[01:44.74]right to the upper left corners.
[01:47.36]The mist has defined edges in several areas,
[01:51.16]which eliminates the possibility of a lens flare
[01:55.07]or light refraction.
[01:57.36]It appears to be something,
[01:59.15]or someone, rushing upward very quickly.
[02:03.68]I guess, by standing on the lid of their tomb,
[02:06.67]I had apparently 7 awoken their spirits.
[02:10.28]Perhaps they had died so young
[02:12.75]and with so much life left to live,
[02:16.33]they had not yet accepted death
[02:18.58]and were eager to rejoin the living.
[02:21.96]That might also be the reason
[02:24.05]that the only flowers in the entire cemetery
[02:27.43]were growing by their grave.
[02:31.10]Whether they were happy to have company
[02:33.61]or disturbed by the intrusion,
[02:36.02]I will never know.
