I took this photo when I went to visit the Southern Cemetery the other day. I spoke to these men and asked them what they were doing and why. What do you think they are doing? Why?

it looks like hes painting the metel fence around the gravestone white
he is painting the fence cause it might of gotten all rusty and he put a cover over the statue cause it might need repearing
he is repainting the fence white he has coverd the statue up so it wont get paint on it
is he blessing the grave
it looks like the person is painting the fence. hayden
What:
I think this man is re-painting this metal.
Why:
Because metal eventually rust over time, so he's painting it to prevent more rust.
Jare Roy
I think they were cleaning it or they were ingraving it
I think they were cleanig it or they were ingraving it
i think he is painting the fence to make the cemetery look nice. Just because they are dead it doesn't mean it has to look all tatty and it is respectful to keep it looking nice for our loved ones.
well done to those students who have commented already. Hayden; Why do you think he is painting the fence? My other question for all of you is why is he only painting this specific fence?
Mrs Q
That man is restoring the broken grave and painting the fence white
Hannah Whitcombe
i think he is painting the fence around the grave stone to prevent rust and i think he put the cover on the stone to protect it from the paint

I think that he could be cleaning the grave and the fence around it because sometimes it can get dirty and covered in moss. He could be a member of the family or he might work there and clean all the graves....but he could also be repainting the fence. The grave looks like it has a cloth over it to protect it.

I think they are praying for their dead.
because they love them.

I think he is either painting the fence or polishing the stone.
I think he is painting the fence because if he doesn't it will go rusty.Or he is polishing the stone so when people come to look at it they will be able to read the engraved letters.
Maia
What I think the man is doing?
He is painting some thing. And he is painting
something big. It looks like he is painting a grave
stone, but he is painting a fence. He is painting it because it is brown and old.
I think he is painting the fence because sometimes the fence can get all rusted up and people woul want it to look nice or maybe he is putting a new fence in because it may have broke
James Mitchell
I think that the person is engraving the persons name in the stone or he is re-painting the stone because the paint might be starting to peal off.
Joshua Malcolm
I think the guy is painting the fence so that it dosent look all ratty. He is probably only painting that fence because either he has only just started and will do the rest later, or that was the only one that needed doing.
Fifi
he is paiting the fence white he covered the grave stone so it dosent get paint 0n it.
autumn :) :p
i think that he is just paying his respects to his ancestors.
Hamish
he is putting an undercoat of paint on the fence as cemetery maintenance, and the cloth is over the headstone to stop it getting paint splatters.
Henri
he's putting an undercoat of paint on the metal fence as cemetery maintenance, the cloth is over the headstone and statue to stop it getting paint splatters
