All I can think of is how they died. It makes me sad. :(

I love this. I think I will make a card with the photo for Valentines Day. Seriously.

Italy. How sweet. If Dino were still alive he might serenade these skeleton crossed lovers with a chorus of"When theres worms in our eye and our bones are all dry, that's amore!"

dem: funny, but I don't think so. I'm with Sue. I think this photo could make some fabulous Valentines cards.

The Romeo Juliet reference is apt. It's tragic and beautiful at the same time. The simple fact that they have lain like this undisturbed for millenia speaks volumes.

Incredible.

Hmmm. I can see some interesting stories coming out of this--just how did they end up that way? Fun project for a creative writing class. Or bloggers.

I saw that on Fox News this morning. If I got to chose how I would die I would like to go with my husband when we're old and have lived a long life. Like in the Movie The Notebook. In the book only the wife dies.

Very romantic. Sad I guess, but oh, so romantic.
