I felt myself drawn back to Montmartre cemetery today, so here are a few more pictures. (more to come)

I see you've done some of the "famous graves" this time.
Zola would have been shocked at how much graver anti-Semitism and other violent racisms would become some decades after J'accuse.
For non-Parisians, there are many monuments to Jewish and political victims of the Nazis at Père-Lachaise, near le Mur des fédérés.
There are some very erotic monuments! Do they attract nocturnal thrill-seekers?

Outstanding! For some reason the first of Truffaut's grave with the leaves and the reflections of trees and sky in the dark granite particularly charms me.

They're all outstanding, Kerouac. Ditto with Fumbobici on the Truffaut ones, but I also love the 4th to the last directly above, with the arches of the trees mirroring the peaked roof of the tomb in the left of the photo.
The overpass directly over the tombs was a shock!

Wonderful photos. Putting the memorial to holocaust victim family members is touching.
They put the overpass there, commendably, without disturbing things too terribly much.
I love statues on graves, but putting photos there is also interesting. Not much of a market for sculpting busts of the deceased nowadays I suppose.

I don't have any All Saints Day photo plans this year, so you might as well look at the results from last year again.
