Hiya mon ami.
Yes. Cheers to life.
Well yes that is indeed how life goes on !
It waits for none .Live the way you want to be as one day your time will come to join the gone.
Greetings @rehan12.
Yes...your reply is quite sage....I quite agree.
It sounds very much like a line from the film 'Kingdom of Heaven'.
'Live your life as before the Creator...as your day will come when you will answer to Him.'.....something like that the king said to the main character.
Cheers.
Everyone has to go... One day!
Really striking images, I like the way you've used the railings to give a depth of field. Did you take these a while back or is there still snow where you live!?
Thank you for your kind artistic words @captaincanary.
These were taken about a month ago........snow last appearance with a sunny day.....always lovely.....thank you for inquiring.
Appreciate you stopping by.
Cheers.
In our everyday hectic life we do not really pay attention to life around us and sometimes I notice that we almost just co-exist, but then when something happens to one of our close member of family then you want to spend you time with them and think why you have not done this or that.
We just forget to live every moment of our life, to enjoy and be grateful to have this moment together. Like one clever man said we are all guests to each other in this life. Sometimes to be on cemetery raises so many different thoughts and emotions. I think on and off we need to be reminded that we are not eternal and we need to use our time appropriately.
Thanks for bringing all these thoughts up @bluejay and I wish you a nice week :)
Thank you for stopping by @stef1.
So happy to hear the grey cells were on the move ^__^
Yes....our life here on Earth is but temporary, indeed.
Depending on one's decision regarding Christ Jesus......if one believes in Him .......the soul moves on to heaven for eternity.
Appreciate the opportunity to think on these things.
Cheers.
Very good message! The pictures that you shared are very fitting and cause lots of thought. Beautiful fence and cemetery.
Thank you @nat-expressions for dropping by.
Appreciate your thoughtful and kind words.
So happy to hear you enjoyed the post.
Cheers.
Good principle, I totally agree!
Beautiful photos. I especially like the way you took photos of those amazing trees and the beautiful blue sky as background. Great shot!
All the best to you and yours! ;)
Thank you for your kind words @tangmo.
Appreciate your cheery reply and compliments very much.
Wishing you and yours all the best. ^__^
It’s always my great pleasure!
Wish you and yours all the best! ;)
True. Life is the greatest gift of all.
And yet how hard life can be sometimes ... Especially for those surviving loved ones.
Thank you @koskl for dropping by.
Yes....there is no doubt it is difficult to be one surviving loved ones....the comfort in the case of losing loved ones is from knowing that if they were believers in Christ Jesus they are with Him, in a place of no more sorrow, more tears, no more pain.
Life is a gift.....an opportunity to decide regarding Christ Jesus Who has provided the gift of eternal life if one believes in Him.
For God loved the world (mankind) so much that he gave His uniquely born Son (Christ Jesus) so that anyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Appreciate the opportunity to think on these things.
All the best to you.
Ciao!
a good principle to navigate the harshness of life.
maybe one of the meanings is,
will never despair. and keep spirit.
thanks @bleujay.
Greetings @longberry
Thank you for your kind words.
Perhaps a way to think of it......that Good News of Salvation through Christ Jesus. He has provided a way of eternal life......therefore no despair and great comfort to those who survive a departed loved one if that loved one has believed in Christ Jesus....he/she is 'in a place of no more sorrows, no more tears, no more pain.' For God loved the world (mankind) so much that He gave His uniquely born Son (Christ Jesus) so that anyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. It is faith alone in Christ alone for salvation.
Appreciate the opportunity to think on these things.
All the best for you.
Cheers.
Wonderful sentiment. The world can drag you down now and then. Going to a cemetery, is a great way to remind us, that still being here, is the greatest blessing of all. And should be appreciated, more than anything. Yet, so often we forget this...in the daily 'grind'. Thanks for the reminder. Have a nice day (I'm a bit late getting to my post reading...some of that more or less grind ( :
Greetings @ddshteinn.
It is easy to get carried away by details.....is it not?
Yes......the cemetery can be a good reminder of many things.......especially whether we have made the most important decision regarding Christ Jesus......if one believes in Him....He promises eternal life. For God loved the world (mankind) so much that He gave His uniquely born Son ( Christ Jesus) so that anyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Thank you for stopping by.
All the best.
Cheers.
It is jewish cementery? Good picture.
Thank you for your query.
Not to my knowledge.....yet Jews could be buried here as well as Christians.
Appreciate the compliment.
If we could take control of our own lives and know when we are going to live or when we are going to die, only God has the ropes of our lives, greetings @bleujay
Thank you for your thoughtful reply.
Yes...I agree...only God has the reins of our lives.
Greetings.
this is the place of rest our life .. and keep scielent . every thing end .. heart touching post and nice click
Thank you for stopping by.
Appreciate hearing your thoughts.
It could be said....a place of rest for our bodies and an expression of the end of our life here on earth...yet the soul moves on.
Cheers.
Nice words @bluejay
Appreciable photograph. Dead is the part of life . but now a days death is easy way to do as live a life full of hard work full of problems .
But the main thing is life is the name of problems and facing them and solving them is the way to live . but we humans are not getting the point that after a night there is a day . and thats way death is easy to us bcz we want a life full of happiness and fun but not want to face problems ...
Greetings @topstoriez.
Thank you for your kind words.
Yes.....death is a part of life.
Problems are a realisation that humans need God. God is a very present help in time of need. God knows our state and has provided the most for us......eternal life through His Son (Christ Jesus). A relationship with God begins with belief in Christ Jesus. For God loved the world (mankind) so much that He gave His uniquely born Son so that anyone who belives in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
All the best to you.
This post makes me remember a quote that says >"If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is also how we die "
There are different sorts of death, a lot of people are living, yet dead...
Knowing the right thing to do and not doing it is death on its own, because how are you better than the dead?
Thank you for your thoughtful words.
Yes....there are different deaths....your description sounds as if one could not recover...yet in Christ we have the recovery from a life.
Jesus Christ said, 'I am the way, the truth and life, he that believeth in Me....though he were dead, yet shall he live.'
All the best.....God's best.
very true @bleujay . Life is for the living but the living seems hurt most by death. It is hard to let go of loss and guilt but in time if people do "the work" they can continue moving forward. It is one of the toughest things we humans ever face.
Greetings @cflclosers.
Appreciate ypu stopping by.
It is as you say......very 'hard to let go of loss' and yet if the departed one was a believer in Christ Jesus....those that remain can be comforted in knowing that their loved one is 'in a place of no more sorrow, no more tears, no more death' For God loved the world (mankind) so much that He gave His uniquely born Son (Christ Jesus) so that anyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Wishing you all the best......God's best.
Very true. We onlying have a short time before we're dead and buried. Not matter what, we have to keep on living.
Once we're dead, it's over. The living move on and we become history. Best to live life and pursue our dreams
Thank you for your kind reply @empress-eremmy.
Yes....once we are dead our life here on Earth is over......our body is put to rest and our soul moves on......depending on one's choice regarding the issue of Christ Jesus.....accept or reject Him?.......that is the query for those who reside on Earth determining where one will spend their eternal future.
For God loved the world (mankind) so much that He gave His uniquely born Son (Christ Jesus) so that anyone who believes on Him shall not perish but have eternal life......translated from the Greek language John 3.16.
All the best to you.
Cheers.
This is the place where we will rest... Where silence and forgetfulness reign.
Thank you for your reply.
Yes....a place to rest the body.....the soul moves on.
seeing your photo remain me to death. death is a must, we live in this world to death at the end. it's good to remain death very often. it will encourage us to do great thing to other.
thank you for the pictures @bleujay
Thank you for your kind reply.
I agree it is good to be reminded of death from time to time....to ask ourselves if we are ready for the hereafter.
awsome photography.....
Thank you @mokles.
¿What more truth than that is our safe destination?
Greetings @elider11.
Thank you for your query.
Christ Jesus said, 'I am the ressurection and the life, he that believes in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.
All the best.
Cheers.
Lovely photos! Thats the truth of life and where every human will end one day. Whether it is the end or just a new start, will remain a mystery.
Nice pic. Cemeteries are very interesting places to take photos.
Remove the picture.......
I'm sorry, I didn't think it would bother you. It will not happen again.
Thank you. No worries.
Cheers.
Very nice photography @bleujay!
Is that a cemetery?
Thank you for sharing this to us my friend.
Have a blessed day!
Greetings @asbonphotos.
A cemetery it is....yes.
My pleasure.
Thank you for your kind wishes.
All the best.
Cheers.

I agree with you 100% there are a noticeable amount of people who will comment links to their blogs. And I also don't appreciate people posting irrelevant comments. Your photos are very beautiful and death gives life meaning.
Blessed be
Thank you for your thoughtful reply @skywater.
All the best to you.
Welcome to Steemit.
Very good photography dear friend
Thank you dear @beautypics for stopping by.
Appreciate your kind words.
Life is all about living each moment don't worry about what's gonna happen instead live that and take action at the right time life is incomplete if one don't live it to the fullest :)
Thank you for stopping by @blazing.
That is one way of thinking about it......another way to view it...is to live a life pleasing to God. The first thing God requires of us is to believe in His Son, Christ Jesus that we might live eternally with Him. For God is not willing that any should perish. For God so loved the world that He gave His uniquly born Son so that anyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Appreciate the opportunity to think on these things.
Cheers.
hey whats up bleujay those pictures entomb me i hope i said that right i am trying to be more punny
Thank you for stopping by @tornadoman.
All the living will surely die, but we do not know when the dead will come this because of the secrets of God. So while living a lot of charity and doing good.
Thank you for your kind reply @omcaca
Yes.....death will come the day of God's choosing. I would add that whilst living...live to please God by obeying His will. He is not willing that any should perish......begin by belief in His Son, Christ Jesus. For God so loved the world that He gave His uniquely born Son (Christ Jesus) so that anyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life........translated from the original Greek language, John 3.16
All the best to you....God's best.
Hai @bleujay.
I always see interesting things in every post you.
I also like your photographing technique.
I hope someday learn from you.
I'll come back to see more good info.
Greetings.
Thank you for visiting @kimki.
Yeepppp...
I agree with you, we must help each other to help survive and progress...
Like steemit @bluejay
Thank you for visiting.
Sombre yet uplifting too in that we most definitely should. Life is love and laughter.
:O)
Greetings @meesterboom.
Sombre.....yes.....just about as sombre as those skulls of yours....hehe...those death reminders.....^__^
Indeed....I thought of Steemians as well who are no longer on Steemit and how life could come along to anyone of us and insist we be interrupted from life on the Steemit Planet....yet the rest of us must go on Steeming as it were.....not that it could not happen to me as well.......the internet is a tether that could be broken at any moment.....right?
As far as life being love and laughter....I do hope that for everyone and more.....much more when one is a believer in Christ Jesus. He said, 'I am the way, the truth and the life....no man cometh unto the Father but by Me.'
Thank you for opportunity to think on these things.
Appreciate you stopping by for a cuppa.
All the best to you.
Cheers.
Tis always more than a pleasure to stop by. It is exactly as you say, sometimes when I look back on posts I see so many names who have moved on, metaphorically of course. I hope, lol.
Some things are transient and of course as you say, others are eternal.
Its a fine cuppa!! :O)
^__^
in this life we must have a strong principle to face the world, for those who put the principle is a great man.
thanks for the advice of the master. we will understand your suggestion.
i do agree with you. We should keep on making a our life worthwhile since we still have it. :)
very nice principle, indeed life must go on
