A black and white, shallow depth of field photograph showing multiple grave markers. In the centre, the most legible headstone belongs to CARL MARTIN and EMMA HILDA LUTZE. A small, horse like statuette is visible resting between two of the headstones. The overall scene suggests an old cemetery with crowded, upright memorials.

Portrait of Victorian mourning for Jane P. Ard Wright (1877-1898). Her die-in-socket headstone was a prevalent style for the late 1800s. The bas-relief Lily of the Valley carving (also popular) symbolizes innocence, purity, & humility. To be memorialized as both dau. & wife suggests recent marriage.
The monument is a marble "die in socket" headstone, a very common style for the late 19th century. The stone has weathered significantly, showing the characteristic graying and biological growth (lichen and mold) that creates that high-contrast, darkened patina over the white marble. The base appears sturdy, supporting the upright tablet, which features a decorative, arched top (tympanum). The bas-relief carving at the top is a showstopper Lily of the Valley bouquet tied with a ribbon around the stems. Jane P. Daughter of J. T. & S. C. Ard Wife of W. W. Wright June 10, 1877 May 25, 1898 The dates tell the saddest part of the story. Jane was born in the Reconstruction Era South and died just two weeks before her 21st birthday. To be memorialized as both a daughter and a wife suggests she had likely married recently but passed before establishing a long matriarchy of her own. It’s a poignant snapshot of a life ending right on the cusp of adulthood. Peeking in the background, you can see the rusted iron fencing—likely a family plot enclosure—which frames the stone beautifully and adds to the atmospheric, historic cemetery aesthetic.

Dominating the centre are several large trees, including a stark, towering dead tree with bare, gnarled branches reaching towards the sky, and another on the right with dark, dense foliage. The background features rolling hills covered in dry grass and scattered trees, receding into the distance under a bright, cloudy sky.

A still winter shoreline captures the quiet moment before nightfall. Reflections of bare trees and distant apartment blocks soften across the calm water, turning Stroomi Beach into a muted mirror. In monochrome, the scene becomes a study in quiet, texture, and the gentle melancholy of dusk by the Baltic Sea.
