"Everybody is looking for *Jim"

Père Lachaise Cemetery | Paris | France | 2013-03

I booked some days in Paris for the beginning of March. What I didn´t could know during the booking is that this years´ springtime-weather in Western Europe was very cold and wet.

Nevertheless I did that thing which I like most during a cloudy sky... I went to take pictures at some of the dozen cemeteries in Paris. Here are the pics from the Père Lachaise cemetery. Including some pics of *Jim Morrisson´s grave.
