Like many good street photographers Keith Goldstein,  click here ’For Earth Below’, has a theme/project that he follows during his street shoots.  Being in NYC he picked the ever present orange traffic cone. An invisible item in plain sight it’s amazing how many places and uses the cones can be found.

Yesterday we wandered around the old cemeteries and I stopped by baby Rosalie. The grave site is one of the last 1800’s plaster face casts surviving. Making a plaster cast of a deceased relative was a practice for a while. Below is her actual face in the head stone designed like an old baby carriage.

For years the tradition of leaving a small gift for a deceased child has been going strong on this rural grave site. It’s probably out of hand now, tourists come to cemeteries around here on ‘Ghost Walks’. I suspect they are leaving gifts.

One of the recent gifts were a few small figurines and… the ever present (miniature) orange  traffic cone.

Seeing the cone I immediately thought of the web site ‘For Earth Below and Keith.

The grave of baby Rosalie Raymond, Charleston, South Carolina.
