Photographer’s Note
The cemetery at Devils Island is fenced in in the forested area of the island. Out of curiosity I went to the area. I was surprized to see that the tombstone markers shows only women and children. Most of the children died at age three years old and below. The women and children lying there are wives and children of prison officers. Surprizingly there are no men buried there. Are they just thrown out to sea. This particular tomb has this written on the tombstone:

Bonjour Andre,
Je ne suis pas un grand amateur des pierre tombales, mais je dois avouer que cette photo possède une jolie facture visuelle.
L'angle de vue est original et la couleur des pierres donnent une belle touche à la composition.
Félicitation pour cette photo!
Terrysio
