This evening Flash and I ventured into the cemetery for our daily walk, just as dusk was deepening. While I was channeling my inner Buffy, just in case, I caught a glimpse of the latest in grave decorations: solar powered crosses and Angels. Saying I "caught a glimpse" is putting it mildly; "nearly jumped out of my skin" definitely belongs in there somehwere. There's a general heightened awareness of all senses when you're in a cemetery at night, no matter how firmly your feet are planted outside of believing in the realm of ghosts and goblins, so seeing a soft glow amongst the gravestones doesn't increase one's sense of ease. Once I ventured close enough to figure out what exactly it was that was glowing in the distance, I thought it was a pretty interesting take on outdoor solar lighting, and although I can't speak for the intentions of the people who put them out there, they suit cemeteries perfectly.
