Angel of the East
Here are a couple of photos (not very good, I took them with my phone) of the most beautiful angel I have seen so far in a cemetery. She is in Colchester cemetery, quite close to where I used to live. Lots of angels in cemeteries are either weeping or gazing up to heaven imploringly, but what I love about this one is that she looks so entirely calm and businesslike. "Moving on to the next world..? No problem. Next". If you’ve seen a more beautiful one, let me know.

There is an exact replica of this statue in Highland Cemetay in Mt. Pleasant, Ohio. I always wanted to know what she was doing (the one in HC has been vandalized.
