Symbol: a thing that represents or stands for something else, especially a material object representing something abstract.
In some cultures a person visiting a loved one’s grave leaves a memento, sometimes a pebble, to show they’ve been by. To symbolize their love, their loss. I shot this at our small and historical local cemetery.
You can see other representations of the idea of symbol at the original post, or visit a few of my favorites here, here and here.
What symbols do you see in your own life? Want to share with us? Just post a photo and link to the original post.
It’s an interesting concept to try to capture visually. I look forward to seeing what you find.

I always remember years ago reading about a simple solution to problems. It was basically to close you eyes, focus of the problem and then open a newspaper to a random page and read it – More often than not something you read helps you create a solution – oddly enough – I have always found it works 🙂

They taught us something similar to Bree’s solution at church when I was in youth group. Only, you used the bible instead.
I like your interpretation. When I was in Japan I notice people would put pebbles on shrines, I guess a similar custom.

I saw these little stones at a Jewish cemetary in Frankfurt. They were placed on small name-blocks in a wall.
