La Tour Eiffel - en hiver


It was a dark and snowy night but the twinkling of la Tour lights up the December sky.


(Taken from the Suresnes American Cemetery, in the suburbs of Paris, only five miles from city center.  The 7.5 acre cemetery contains the graves of 1,541 Americans who died in World War I and 24 Unknown American War Dead from World War II.  The cemetery is located high on the slopes of Mont Valerien)

    Suresnes is well worth the short hop from central Paris. A beautiful and moving spot.
