Cimetière de Passy
the caretaker
I am attracted to cemeteries and have sought them out in every city visited. Paris has an abundance of cemeteries and many stories to go with them
Cimetière de Passy is less than six acres in size making it easy to cover in about an hour. You will find the famous and the not-so-famous, a princess, artists, aviators, actresses, and many more. You may even catch a glimpse of the caretaker going about his business.
All the while, la Tour Eiffel is peeking over your shoulder.

I'm very fond of cemeteries, too -- they are fascinating. This photo is a wonderful study. So very thoughtful.
Interesting subject, I like this picture a lot!

I would love to explore the cemeteries of Paris!
I suspect a caretaker of a cemetery would have many stories to tell.
It is good to see someone caring for these beautiful markers. I am intrigued by his attire.
What a strange job it must be! Between gardener and watcher, loneliness and silence all day long..Great picture!
Nice photo with a little story.
Maybe the caretaker is a cemetery maven too—in which case, he's found the perfect job! Nice shot, Genie --
An interesting shot...very human. Well done in B&W!
Although I will never spend much time in a cemetery, I don't really care for them.
I also love cemeteries. Nice catch of the caretaker.
