October Theme--Tombstones and Graveyards
October's Monthly Theme is Tombstones/Cemeteries, and for this theme, I've chosen not one but TWO photos to illustrate this theme. I wanted to add the first photo because these signs aren't often seen at graveyards/cemeteries, and the sign speaks loud and clear about how respectful the Hawaiians are to their Ancestors!
Please visit all these other worldwide cities to view how they photographed this theme.

The second photo shows a very interesting setting and tombstones.
thank you for sharing these photos...I really like the sign.
That's interesting post you have there.
Happy Theme Day!
I like the shot of the sign; it's horrible when you see a cemetery vandalized.
I've had picnics in cemeteries here and in France. I guess I'd better not put that on my Hawaiian agenda??

First time I've seen a sign such as this in a cemetery. Both interesting photos for this Theme Day.
Yes, we have to respect our ancestors. Very nice shot!
What the symbol before the word we invite you. What it means we come to visit as a family ?
One of the most moving gravesites I have visited was in Hana--Lindberg's grave. Isolated, or so it seemed at the time.
More and more cemeteries vandalized everywhere, I can't understand why...Nice shots!
je trouve tres surprenante cette enseigne, encore plus que des gens puissent venir vandaliser les cimetieres ;o((
I find surprising very this sign, even more than people can come vandaliser the cemeteries :o((
Interesting sign with an intriguing drawing on the top. Any information on what the drawing represents?
Well, I have never seen invitation board before in a cemetery.
Forgive my ignorance - does "kupuna"" mean "ancestors"?
What a great sentiment...
Tombstones and graveyards? What a theme... I think I'll avoid DP blog visits today. ;))
Anyhow, beautiful pictures!
An interesting sign...very nice.
Nice photos. It disturbs me when I see people walk over graves. It seems very disrespectful.
Both photos are great. Thanks for posting them.
Hey there, thanks for stopping my NYC DP. So glad to see your name again.
Hope all is well.
Kupuna....a new word of the day. I am surprised to see this sign. I'd feel awkward if I were to stand or sit on a grave.
a good sign which needs to be respected.
Lovely and respectful. I appreciate that. Nice theme pictures.
