Support - I really like the rhythm of this composition, and it's also poignant, as we see the damage to the graveyard, I'm guessing from the time the Nazis must have knocked the gravestones over. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:38, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Info During the more than three centuries in which it was in active use, the cemetery continually struggled with the lack of space. Piety and respect for the deceased ancestors does not allow the Jews to abolish old graves. For this reason, twelve layers of graves now exist, giving the cemetery the shape of a flat hill. As new levels were added it was necessary either to lay over the gravestones associated with the older (and lower) graves to protect them, or else to elevate the stones to the new, higher surface. --Uoaei1 (talk) 10:15, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, in Israel, if they find old Jewish graves during the construction of a highway, the highway normally gets rerouted. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:41, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Very awkward crop. Charles (talk) 14:54, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Very delicate and nice light. My immediate impression was that is is a very busy and cluttered composition, but I guess that is the whole point as the grave stones are not that ordered due to the very high density of graves. The light brown building a bit to the right in the bg need some vertical alignment lines in Hugin, it is tilted. -- Slaunger (talk) 19:38, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
