Album 443: Garden District - Holt Cemetery, New Orleans, April 11 - 17, 2005

The image presents a weathered and overgrown tombstone nestled within the verdant confines of Holt Cemetery in New Orleans, Louisiana.

In the foreground, the tombstone stands upright amidst a tapestry of lush green grass and wildflowers that have grown around its base. The stone itself is a faded grayish-green hue, with a worn and moss-covered surface. Atop the stone lies an old cracked mosaic of blue, red, brown, and white glass pieces.

The inscription on the tombstone reads: "Crmillsap 4/15/1900 - 1/29/53". The surrounding foliage obscures the text, but it is still legible. A thin metal rod protrudes from the top of the stone, possibly serving as a support or marker for the grave.

The background of the image is filled with dense grass and wildflowers that have sprouted around and over the tombstone, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of neglect and abandonment. The overall scene exudes a sense of desolation and disuse, contrasting starkly with the vibrant colors of the surrounding vegetation.

The photograph was taken in April 2005 by an unknown photographer who captured this haunting image. – AI vision

🇫🇷 Description en français / French Description

Pierre tombale de Crmillsap (15/4/1900-29/1/53) au cimetière d'Holt. Nouvelle Orléans, Louisiane, le 17 avril 2005.. L'image présente une pierre tombale défraîchie et recouverte de végétation dans les confins verdoyants du cimetière d'Holt à Nouvelle-Orléans en Louisiane. Au premier plan, la pierre tombale se tient debout au milieu d'une tapisserie d'herbe verte luxuriante et de fleurs sauvages qui ont poussé autour de sa base. La pierre elle-même est d'un grisâtre vieilli, avec une surface usée et recouverte de mousse. Au sommet se trouve un vieux mosaïque fissuré composé de morceaux de verre bleu, rouge, brun et blanc. L'inscription sur la pierre tombale est : "Crmillsap 15/4/1900 - 29/1/53". Le feuillage environnant masque le texte, mais il est toujours lisible. Une tige mince en métal dépasse du sommet de la pierre, servant éventuellement de support ou de marqueur pour la tombe. L'arrière-plan de l'image est rempli d'herbe et de fleurs sauvages qui ont poussé autour et sur la pierre tombale, créant une atmosphère rappelant négligence et abandon. La scène générale dégage une sensation de désolation et d'abandon, contrastant fortement avec les couleurs vives de la végétation environnante. La photographie a été prise en avril 2005 par un photographe inconnu qui a capturé cette image troublante. – French translation
