Chinese Cemetery marker - a photo on Flickriver

Chinese Cemetery marker

            Today we walked 5km  on our clockwise Mt. Tolmie route. Sunny and warm but cooler than yesterday.  Yesterday was hot.

We got back to the Chinese Cemetery to establish a definitive location for a gravestone which was prominently featured in the Times-Colonist newspaper of Thursday, August 9, 2012 (D1). Richard Watts wrote while Bruce Stotesbury provided photographs of the cemetery. The photo which piqued my interest was the one with the chinese characters painted over in red. The first time we visited the location, we thought the red characters were painted on a white-faced stone but this proved not to be the case. Most of the over-one-hundred gravestones used here appear to be of humble origins; that is, they look like they were made by pouring concrete into a shaped form and the inscriptions made by pressing pre-made stencils into the wet concrete.

The photo provided here was geotagged so anyone wanting to find it quickly can do so using a handheld GPS unit. Here's a hint: It's located just north of the Ceremonial Alter and the marker is facing the sea. It pretty much stands alone in this grassy area. This photo also references the houses in the backround; the house on the lefthand side (westerly) as viewed here is 2054 Penzance St.
