Men in black



These men are sitting on the backside of the Cathedral, having a glass of wine while they are waiting to do their job: the are gravediggers waiting that the funeral that is going on in the church ends. Then they will go back, a bit more relaxed, to their unusual but useful job.

When I see a funeral I can't help but think of all the people who are sad for the one who has passed.
Interesting photo. Something we wouldn't see here.

I like the colors and composition of this shot. I never would have guessed the job of these men. Thanks for the story.
