Title Photograph of two men and a woman at Kilmurvey graveyard.
Description Photograph of two men and a woman praying at a headstone in Kilmurvey graveyard on the Aran Islands. A Celtic cross headstone stands in the centre foreground. Two men stand, to the left of it, with their caps in their hands. On the right a woman dressed entirely in black, with her head covered, also looks towards the grave. Her clothes blow in the wind. In the left foreground a second high cross gravestone, with a fence around the plot, is visible. All this is framed by a cloudy sky. The grass in the foreground is long and blown over on itself.
