K wanted to see the resting place of Jim Morrison. In addition we both like to see the artwork in graveyards. So this day was another spooky dive into a massive 200+ year old graveyard in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guy put his medals on his tombstone. Looks great. Creative. The colors seem like they’re holding up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lots of crows in this graveyard. Spooky…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
This couple was known for writing really great love letters.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Some sort of resin encases these flowers. Bet it looked great when it was new.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Very pretty. Getting ideas for my grave! A diamond tombstone in 2080 might not be unheard of then.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Skulls on your monument. Full pirate style.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>
I thought this one was exceptional.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Great font!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
They get pretty ornate around here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
This person even built a little cave scene.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
This guy would look super spooky at night I bet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This one looks likes it’s about to fall!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n

Jim Morrison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
This tree was right next to Jim Morrison’s grave. People I guess put their bubble gum on this tree so they wrapped it in a bamboo curtain. Probably so the tree didn’t die.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
This tree is probably the single greatest source of rockstar DNA in the world. Toxicological testing would probably be pretty funny!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
This is a group monument. Funny to see in a gravyeard.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
I guess this guy helped build the mass transit system in Paris? If so he probably did a good job.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Now that is spooky. I think it has something to do with a revolution.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Swashbuckler who lost his sword. Hope someone didn’t steal that.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Great lighting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Another memorial.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
They make ’em big here!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Guessing this is where they cremated folks many years ago. Not sure though.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Look at those smokestacks! They mean business here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
The best smelling dumpster ever.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Love it when they include statues of their dogs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
I think this is a memorial to the jews that the Spanish handed over to Germany in WW2.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Scary!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
This tombstone is over 100 years old and looks almost new. Had to be an engineer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Unbelievable how many pieces of gum are here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Did you really have to go there?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
A really big monument in the middle of the cemetery.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Two roads diverge…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Great busts. Must have been good friends.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Love it when they have dog statues.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Oscar Wilde. Pretty wild (pun intended).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Women leave kisses on this gravestone so they put up a piece of glass for it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The monuments are sometimes a bit terrifying.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
