I don't know why I didn't just buy it.<br /><br />Nina -- I have not seen that one! Thanks for the link to the review and background. Great!<br /><br />Alexa -- I have been many times in different seasons and taken too many photographs. There are a few blue doors that I have shot on each journey - hah!<br /><br />M -- It is so vast and I loved seeing the site of Chopin's burial.<br /><br />Shell -- It never seems crowded there, even in the summer. I really prefer the starkness of winter.<br /><br />Virginia -- There are some areas of decay and vandalism, but on this last trip I noticed many crypts being "renovated" and restored.<br /><br />Amanda -- Welcome home again. Yes, this is the much-visited site of Jim Morrison. He keeps some interesting company here at PL!<br /><br />Paul -- Yes, that is a real plus for me. If there is a blurry photo it is not because the subject moved -- Well, at least I hope not!<br /><br />Loree -- JM's grave has been much abused by the public and there are many stories about the efforts made to preserve his burial site. I will look to see if I have a photo (from my first visit) but not sure that I do. <br /><br />Rob -- I am attracted to the angels in cemeteries and probably my favorite for that is La Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires.<br /><br />Ninny -- My husband grew up in Natchez and I also love that cemetery.<br /><br />Kate -- I think that some of the inscriptions are fascinating as well, particularly those of poor little children who died young, young soldiers, the famous, the infamous, and the lonely unmarked graves.Genie -- Paris and Beyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12758801373365481655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055676571236633849.post-72814387924842454482010-09-29T00:10:27.637-03:002010-09-29T00:10:27.637-03:00I agree with Kate, what is it that draws us.
