Tempus Fugit Memento Mori - Annie Wright Photography
Tempus fugit memento mori - time flies, remember death - is a sentiment found in every historic, Scottish graveyard through graphic renditions of skulls and crossbones. In fact, you could be forgiven for thinking that here lies the remains of pirates. This photo shows an example, a 17th century gravestone located at St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall, Orkney. © www.anniewrightphotography.com
