Forgive the photo quality. Batteries dead in the real camera and I keep dropping the damn phone. I took this in the southeast corner of Evergreen Cemetery, just behind the fence from the county crematorium (the white building with the chimney in the background) and the mass graves of LA's indigent dead. The assembled toys and Halloween decorations surrounded the lonely grave of a five-year-old-boy who passed away in September 1966. "Party's This Way!" says the sign on the fence.
