Cimetière du Montparnasse - printemps


Montparnasse Cemetery


Spring blows into Paris,
scattering fresh blossoms
like pastel confetti


May they last in my memories forever



Cimetière du Montparnasse

    Lovely ... Confetti is exactly what it looks like. I am sure the soft fragrance lingered in the air as well ... J'adore printemps!

    Gorgeous. The green on the trees is so bright and tender. The carpet of petals -- amazing.

    The patterns of tombstones give this shot a very dignified, tranquil kind of quality. Beautiful lighting, too.

    Wonderful composition! I love the neutral stone with bands of color top and bottom.

    Thank you for your comments and I wish that you could have been with me there to see all of the purple petals. The paths were lined with them like a carpet. It was a lucky moment to be there as the petals were raining down all around. Our shoes were covered with purple confetti.

    Bises,
    Genie
