I love pere lachaise cemetery! When I was there, The Doors movie had just come out and everyone was making a pilgrimmage to Jim Morrison's gravesite. The rest of the cemetery was so peaceful and beautiful though. I'll be back....
ReplyDeleteI too spent one of my favourite days in the cemetery. It's solitude and quiet compared to the rest of Paris is idyllic on a sunny day.
ReplyDeletefab shots Nancy! I adore old boneyards!
ReplyDeleteAnd now that volcanic ashes are ruling your life you can go back, you lucky girl!! Did you know there is a huge DOG cemetary in Paris?
ReplyDeleteI love these photos. I think I want to go to Paris just to go to Pere Lachaise Cemetery - well, the flea markets, too.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think I'd ever find a cemetary to be beautiful, but this is.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Look at all the beauty you have shared with us today. Gorgeous.
