City of the Dead


Photos of the incomparable Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris are up now. The place is simply amazing. I walked around for 3 hours in the rain on the ankle breaking cobble stones streets that connect up the dozens of districts, and I wish I had 3 hours more. I could spend days wanderng around the tombs, taking photographs and hunting for famous resting spots. This time I found Oscar Wilde, Frederick Chopin, Sarah Bernhardt, George Suerat and of course, Jim Morrision, but there are dozens more including Gertude Stein, Moliere, Max Ernst, Edith Piaf, Louis David, Check out the map and see for yourself.
