A Peaceful Walk

Listening to Cecilia Bartoli sets the mood perfectly for the photos I want to post today. They're from the Père-Lachaise cemetary, a place I could easily spend days, even weeks in. I don't think of myself as someone morbid, it's just that the catholic cemetaries are so full of both sadness and joy, light and dark that I just can't stop myself from visiting, and from taking pictures.
First a small collection of pretty colours.







To walk around in Père-Lachaise is almost like walking in a small town; streets and streets full of these beautiful "houses".








































Ofcourse there are ordinary tombs as well, and also some decay and ruins, but all fit in so beautifully within the walls of this serene place.






Odd and beautiful!




A cat...

...and a guy who plays at one...






The prettiest door of them all!
