For the first time in a few years, I went for a walk round Warsaw Powącki Cemetery on All Saints Day this evening. I would guess that the cannon-type grave above is that of an important soldier. Love the Polish (Catholic) tradition of putting candles on the graves of the dead on All Saints Day. Masses of people walk around the cemeteries remembering their dead relatives in a far from morbid way.
The grave above caught my eye, because the cross is very realistically carved like a tree. In contrast, I was interested in the grave below, because breaking away from general Polish tradition, it's really colourful, so I guess that it must be the grave of an artist.
