Death and Drama


On Thursday, I visited the Cemetery at Père Lechaise, Paris' most notorious final resting place. As the elaborate crypts and statuary indicate, this is a cemetery for glory-seekers… this is where drama queens rest for eternity. Edith Piaf, Sarah Bernhardt, Oscar Wilde, Gertrude Stein, Baron Haussman, Maria Callas and Jim Morrison all call this home. I included a shot from my very, very creepy visit to the catacombs, as well.

Today the clouds were just bizarre and beautiful – below are a few shots of Notre Dame/Ile St. Louis and from my apartment window.
