One a Day from Toronto: John Kay

John Kay

Another grave stone from the Toronto Necropolis. It appears to be quite an old stone, I love the white and gray and all the carved details.

To see more cemetery shots, take a look at Tadophile Tragics.

I hate the new word verification. Since I have trouble reading those "words", I am assuming others do too.
