Cimetière Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois
I was determined to visit the grave site of the reknown
dancer, Rudolph Nureyev, at Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois.
How lucky we were to arrive just as all the Ginko leaves
were making a carpet of gold to welcome us.

The carpet of golden leaves bring such a welcome glow to the cemetery Genie.
There is a certain beauty in it but I am not sure if I will photography inside a grave, at least not in a Chinese cemetery.
Really beautiful.
Bonjour chère Génie,
Il n'est pas triste du tout de visiter les cimetières... Il y règne souvent une sérénité qui fait du bien. Peut-être suis-je bizarre ?!...
Belle photo.
Gros bisous ♡
Graveyards are the best places to visit in autumn.The peace and quiet enhance the effect of the falling leaves. Great shot.
I love this image, so beautiful. This is a very emotional place I think. x
Those fallen leaves really do have a beautiful effect in a cemetery.
I would not let pass the yesterday photo, without say it is marvelous. Nothing more beautiful than to see a child discovering new emotions. It is so warm, so fantastic. I love the use of the vertical line to carry the attention to the Princess's face.... that cheek like a little apple... kills me! Wonderful picture, Genie. Thank you so much
This cemetery is not a designated heritage site and there is not a sign at the train station nor along the road to this remarkable cemetery. It is very quiet in a remote location. There were very few visitors the day we made our trek. I have a fascination with cemeteries and recently visited two in Buenos Aires. A cemetery tells much about the history and the culture of an area and its people.
Walk quietly and photograph respectfully.
Bises,
Genie
