Sainte Geneviève des Bois
a Russian Cemetery
The
Russian Orthodox Cemetery is not highly regarded
by the locals of this
small town
and many do not even know of its existence.
I made the trip
to see the tombstone of Rudolph Nureuev
and found the carpet of fallen ginko leaves as a bonus.
Wherever
I have traveled in the world, I visit and photograph the cemeteries.
Although this cemetery is not well-maintained,
there was a quiet beauty
of the season,
silent and colorful with autumn leaves.

Wow!
ReplyDeleteThe camera screams out for a piece of the BLUE, and I don't mean the sky this time.
Beautiful steeple!
ReplyDeleteAfter all, it seems to me, that it's true: wealth doesn't make a difference at last. Same beauty and same peace for the mausoleum owner, for the white cross owner, and for the owner of the humble cross. At least under the ground, we finally are brothers and sisters; on the ground, we are all equal under the skin. For sure. Blessings, Bros. and Sis...
ReplyDeleteThe yellow coming, the blue in background, but feeling like nearer than the humble cross in foreground! Super framing and the russian dome shape is megabeautiful and three times beautiful . Very good job Miss, a kilo of thanks for sharing peace.
