100-Year-Old Grave Exhumed
February 22, 2008
[UPDATED: This entry has attracted a considerable interest among Macro Photography Blog readers. I've posted several more pictures on the exhumation work].
Original posting: This is a close-up picture of a six-feet-deep grave, an old one, after exhumation. It’s a 100-year-old-grave of a warrior whom the family member wanted to rebury in his homeland. I was there to witness and document the whole process.
To respect the family of the dead, however, I won’t be able to show the whole process without showing the faces of those involved. Even this one, I’ve had to crop it to make sure that none of the faces are shown.
Still, six feet is not that far down, isn’t it?

I guess you two are probably right. That’s the problem with pictures lacking the perspective from which one can make a comparison as to the size of the object. It’s true the grave pit does look like a hole with water.
So, tell you what. Let me dig into my photo archive and post the original picture with the grave digger in the watery hole.
