A photograph taken in a graveyard during daylight shows a tall, weathered stone grave monument inscribed with multiple names. The central inscription reads: "Joseph Harrison, butcher, Meadow Lane, who died Sept. 30th, 1855, aged 44 years. Interred at St. Mark’s Church Woodhouse." "Also Elizabeth, his wife, who died Dec. 1st, 1888, aged 77 years. Interred in this vault Dec. 4th." "Florrie Harrison, died December 13th, 1976." "Harry Ashton Harrison, died Feb. 21st, 1980." The monument features an ornate carved floral design at the top. Sunlight illuminates parts of the stone, creating shadows that emphasize its age and texture. In the background, trees and other gravestones are visible, along with a row of red-brick houses. The sky is bright with scattered clouds, suggesting a calm autumn or spring day. The foreground is partially framed by the edge of another grave monument and overhanging branches.
