For something in excess of 20 years, Queen's Road Cemetery, with 97000+ burials, was "full" and closed to new burials. With increasing pressure on space for burials, Queen's Road was re-opened 5+ years ago. The gravestone, in the foreground, is one of the recent burials. I could see contrasts in this picture; recent burial with fresh flowers against older (seemingly neglected) gravestones, black granite against white snow (a B&W image, but with a colourful splash of flowers).
