Death is but a state of mind



“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.” ― Mark Twain

Cemeteries are quiet, peaceful and can be haven for the living. The photograph here was taken in Joal-Fadiouth, Senegal. Apart from being simple and beautiful, the cemetery is a "mixed" one as photographer Lies tells us: "Not only do Muslims and Christians lie side by side, but all families - regardless of their faith." Now that's an inspiration. And, as she rightly observed, they also have sacred baobab trees to watch over them.
