City Daily Photo Theme Day - The Beauty of Decay


The grave of scientists Joseph Croce-Spinelli and his lover Théodore Sivel are buried together at Père Lachaise.  The two died in a balloon accident in 1875.  The sculpture of the two men, lying side by side holding hands is a much talked about gravesite, but I was too enamored with the colors cascading down the side to capture them.  The beauty of decay can be found everywhere at this beautiful cemetery.

Today, City Daily Photobloggers around the world are posting their interpretation of The Beauty of Decay right HERE. Go have a look, tell them I sent you!

Looking Heavenward


I'm not sure if she's an angel, but I think this is one of the loveliest statues I've seen at Père Lachaise or any other cemetery.
