10 minutes walk from where I live. Nice shot.
Love the details of the ironwork. It appears to have once been black but now the aged rusted color shows the details even better.
Oh even the rust is gorgeous in Paris
I love this, Virginia. :)
I agree, the rust definitely adds something to it.
You seem to be spending a lot of time in the cemetery V.
Can we really trust this guard? He seems a bit rusty. (I know, I know...I'm so so sorry!)
I adore rusty ironwork. And Père Lachaise...
Rust never sleeps, especially not in Père Lachaise...
Funny, you read my mind again, or I yours, I was back in Père Lachaise today on the blog too.
Oh, and also, speaking of thinking along the same lines, or the same lines of trees, I was looking more closely at the small photo which is visible in the "la Boutique" link in your sidebar, of lines of trees disappearing into the distance, with a small human figure visible far away, and just remembered as series of posts I'd done in a similar sort of setting, in the park in Saint Germain en Laye long ago... Your trees are much taller though. Were they in the Tuilleries ? You can see the posts I'm referring to here :

Great minds think alike, right ? Well, mine's maybe not so great, but one out of two ain't bad...
;-)
Oh Owen,
I love your wondrous words. "Rust never sleeps in Pere Lachaise"! Why couldn't I think of that!
The photo on my calendar was taken that magical morning last janvier when we awakened our first morning and found Paris en dessous de neige. This was strolling through Palais Royal. One of my most treasured photographs. Do you think the Parisian Photography Gods will smile on me again this janvier?
Peut-être! :)
Fabulous detail, Virginia. Luscious. With Owen's perfect words. How nice.
Great neighborhood, Laurent!
