This picture is based on one of the Hipstamatic photos that I made on yesterdays photo walk through Luxembourg City. I ended my walk at the Limpersberg cemetery where I discovered some very interesting sculptures on huge family graves. This sculpture is part of such a grave. I borrowed the title for my picture from one of my favorite Heavy Metal bands "Machine Head" who got a great song with the same title "Beautiful Mourning":
...
This lifetime in sorrow
God let the angels die
This is our last goodbye
In love and death we cry
Our last goodbye
