travel nostalgia...pere lachaise, city of its own.

I've been rifling through the unpublished traveling photos stored on my Picasa account and what's the point of hoarding them if I'm not sharing them.  Here's a few pics from my excursion to Pere Lachaise.  I'd never considered a day at the cemetery as a way to beat the heat and enjoy myself but what can I say?  When in Paris. lol.

I immediately thought of St. Louis Cemetery in New Orleans; which oddly enough, I'd like to visit one day.  I guess I'm more morbid than I thought lol...

obligatory James Morrison stop; to be honest this grave is so tucked away we barely saw it.

What trip to Pere Lachiase would be complete without visiting the tomb of Oscar Wilde?  I don't care how much of an icon he is to some folks, I was not kissing that thing.  Germs much?

 and of course I had to stop by the tomb of Gericault... all my art history buffs understand.

As for these photos, there's only do so much editing I can do with them in the future.  Mainly because they were shot in jpeg with my point and shoot.   I can't do some of the editing I'd like to do now that I'm accustomed to using camera raw, so before I even begin to tamper with them I'll be posting them here.  Once I'm done some of these will be great on display around the apartment.  I honestly can't wait to take new images on my future travels with the dslr!  I need to name her by the way.  Any suggestions lol?
