Interesting! Sort of reminds me of the thorny subject of 'leaving offerings' at ancient sites. I wonder if someone's ashes were scattered there, which may account for the grave decoration - artificial flowers don't really conjour up the sense of 'an offering' but it is astonishing how some people interpret the notion.


That's why I asked what actual offerings were left. Being a remote site it may be that the person leaving them possibly for a loved one recently departed, wanted their 'respects' for them to be long lasting as the frequency of visits was not too easy.
