How many hundreds of little cherubs are to be found in the cimeteries of Paris?

  7. Poor little thing does look quite forlorn. Nicely captured, Genie! Paris's cemeteries are a real treasure trove for anyone with a camera, aren't they?

  8. This one seems to have left his post a few times to frolic in the mud puddles ...

  9. Bibi -- Very sad, I think.

    Sooz -- It does look like there have been tears. I am wondering where you are in your journey...

    Andy -- Angels most of the time anyway!

    Rob -- I agree, and it is difficult to take it all in!

    Virginia -- Home at last!

    Loree -- There are more than can be counted in Père Lachaise!

    Alexa -- I think that years ago I should have started by marking off my path(s) in PL so I could finally explore it all!

    Starman -- I am sure that you are not bored in Paris...

    Julie -- It does resemble mud, and I am glad that this little cherub is intact with not signs of damage other than the coloration.

  10. The stains on his face look like a trail of tears through a dirty little urchin face. Great detail and perfect in B&W.
    Glad to be home but will miss seeing you :-) Bises ma cherie amie.
