Sainte-Geneviève des Bois - le cimetière



The Russian Orthodox Cemetery
at Sainte-Geneviève des Bois


Although I have only seen this cemetery in the fall, 
in any month one imagines that the setting would still appear as an artist's palette 
but in the shades of the proper season.

Whether carpeted with Ginko leaves, 
a rare blanket of snow, 
or the petals of the spring blooms,
 it would surely be an artist's canvas.

  3. Simply lovely! I love how the out of focus, golden background enhances the cobalt blue of the monument. I know it's a trek but I definitely want to go there some time. Printemps peut-être? Bon week-end!
