France - Paris - Montmartre - Cemetery 07
The strong side-lighting brought out some great textures on this stone tomb in Montmartre Cemetery, I've used Topaz Adjust to subtlely (?) increase the colours and details.
From Wikipedia : "Montmartre Cemetery (French: Cimetière de Montmartre) is a famous cemetery, in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, France. Cemeteries had been banned from Paris since the shutting down of the Cimetière des Innocents in 1786, as they presented health hazards. Several new cemeteries replaced all the Parisian ones, outside the precincts of the capital, in the early 19th century: Montmartre in the north, Père Lachaise Cemetery in the east, Passy Cemetery in the west and Montparnasse Cemetery in the south.
Located west of the Butte, near the beginning of Rue Caulaincourt in Place de Clichy, the cemetery in the Montmartre quarter of Paris is built below street level in the hollow of an old quarry with its entrance on Avenue Rachel under Rue Caulaincourt. The cemetery epitomizes the artsy, quixotic, gentle, almost whimsical Paris that every romantic visitor secretly cherishes. A popular tourist destination, it is the final resting place of many famous artists who lived and worked in the Montmartre area."
