When our memorial to Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë was dedicated in 1947, the diaereses (the two dots over the ‘e’) were missing from the literary sisters' surname - an error that was corrected when the memorial was updated in 2024. #31DaysOfGraves #Accident

#31DaysofGraves Day 23: Wings. 🦋 Found this butterfly (or moth!) carved into a headstone in Galashiels. Only on closer inspection did I realise it's encircled by an Ouroboros! 🐍 Both symbolic - the butterfly = beauty, fragility & ephemeral nature of life; ouroboros = eternal cycle of life & death.

The time of year when you open the blinds and it’s darker outside than in. #sussexgrey #skyproject #photography #23October
