I bring you back again, and again to the Cimetière de Passy. I still ask myself why I seem to have found more images here than any other cemtery in Paris. Je ne sais pas.
Or maybe Marshall Mathers (aka eminem) is planning ahead . . . or not. Another wonderful shot from this place. I don't wonder why you have so many photos from this cemetery. I wonder why I've never been here! (btw, my wv is "restup")
Love the ornate ironwork and was something I loved doing wandering around the old cemeteries. So much to see and neat when you were able to recognize a famous name.
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Love the curves, nice quaint picture. Elegance still lingers... despite the rust.
Hi Virgina,
Love the ornate ironwork and was something I loved doing wandering around the old cemeteries. So much to see and neat when you were able to recognize a famous name.
Happy new week
