Religious Contrast in Paris Graveyard

Christian

Jewish

Today I'm back at the Paris graveyard. I'm thinking how I'd love to be there peering at the freshly fallen snow on the cemetery plots. I've written about this place before in all its starkness.

It's the Pere-Lachaise Cemetry. Jim Morrison's buried here, among others whose names you'd probably recognize.

To walk here at any time of year is to take yourself into another dimension--literally, to go to a twilight zone.

There are more contrasting shapes and forms and symbols here than anywhere else in Paris.
