I usually visit Pere Lachaise Cemetery in the autumn, usually All Saints Day as there are mums everywhere and beautiful colored leaves on the trees there. I happened to be in the neighborhood on a pretty sunny day and took a walk through the grounds. It was nice seeing signs of Spring there.
There were bushes in bloom.
Stones on a Jewish cemetery. They both are what is called visitation stones, a sort of calling card and it is also believed that they keep the soul down in this world.
The tomb of Oscar Wilde. They had to put a protective barrier around it to keep people from marking on it, usually « kisses » left by women for some reason. Lipstick was destroying the stone and now usually kisses are left on the barrier. I’m sure people sometime try to climb to the top. Alos, some time ago, the penis was broken off of the figure. No one is sure why.
Tulips were starting to bloom.
This lady is still alive. I guess she wanted to make sure her tomb was made as she wanted.
