2007Père-Lachaise
My wife and mother in law at the cemetery Père-Lachaise in Paris.
If you ever are in Paris, this is something you must visit. Although it’s a cemetery, it has a certain atmosphere you can’t find in other cemeteries : there are people talking and discussing everywhere, people walking around, young and old, enjoying the calm environment. The place is that big that you can almost get lost between all the graves. It’s not the ‘grave X is at line 1 – row A’ kind of place, it’s more like oldened chaos, little roads everywhere, graves in multiple levels… Wonderful, mystical place ! And of course, there’s the famous people buried there, but that’s not what makes the place that interesting…

That shadow has a great impactual quality in transgressing the perspctive of the footpath. The downhill slope is lost a little in translation until the eye gets to your mum an wife. The sepia-like tone is very nice and adds a sentimental impression.

'Het' kerkhof. Ik las net je comment op Artur's blog. Zo'n 30D zou ik toch ook wel érg graag willen hebben ;).

Robert
I like that you captured them in the shadow. It adds to the atmosphere of the beautiful photo. The sepia toning really suits this shot. I've promised myself a vist to the cemetary when I'm in Paris.
Pieter
a beautiful image…. that shadow is just perfect:)

une belle ambiance à la fois dramatique par les ombres et sereine par la symétrie et les couleurs

This does look like a special place. The slightly reduced contrast suits the atmosphere and feeling of the scene appropriately.

beautiful shot and i like the framing of the path through the trees and graves. wonderful!
Michelle
Is this the famous Père Lachaise cemetery where Jim Morrison's grave is?
Wonderful image – lovely tone. Is this sepia film or something you did in post production, either way, the tone complements the image perfectly

It almost looks surreal with the bend shadow from the tree on the right. But I really like the shot
Florian
It's a so zen photography. Nice tones.
Artepp
Belle composition. J'aime beaucoup le traitement.
Merci pour ta visite et ton com sur mon blog. A bientôt.

The sepia toning adding to a very well framed shot!

Prachtige foto! Als je het niet zo ver wil zoeken moet je ook eens naar het Campo Santo gaan in Gent, ook zo'n schitterend kerkhof

It's funny to watch your pictures from Paris, we've visited the city during the same time! You where there for the marathon, I was there too during that day, but then for 4 days just to make pictures. I really like your pictures. I haven't been a Père-Lachaise though, I saw in my travelguidebook that you definitly should go there, but I'm not really fond of cementary's ;)
Take a look at my website for my serie of Paris if you want to.
