creep: Deformation that occurs over time when a material is subjected to constant stress at a constant temperature

p.s.  these two pictures have no relation to the theme...just took them while walking to the cemetery. 

their motif was serene yet sinister

With this specific definition (deformation) of creep in mind I set off on my next assignment.  This series of shots was the last to be taken.  A few assignments already had shots of the cemetery so I thought I would avoid it.  However, since I was passing by I decided to stop by.  I’m glad I did. I saw this angel without a head, which I deduced fell of with the corrosion of time.  I felt this is an apt representation of material being stressed by the constant exposure to the elements and ending in deformation.

With the ‘expression’ shot, I am seeking to convey a comparison of time differential erosion.  In time perhaps the white washed angel will evolve into its more seasoned counterpart.
