WW - Favourites II
Oscar Wilde's grave, Pere Lachaise Paris
Detail from teh grave of persian writer Sadegh Hedayat, Pere Lachaise, Paris
Mimi
Crab spider on Teasel
British Museum
The not-wife and Robyn
This week's entry for the Tuesday and Wednesday editions of Wordless Wednesday
That British Museum one is still a favorite of mine, I love the way you've emphasized the geometric lines and created almost a sense of movement.
Are those lipstick kisses on Oscar Wilde's grave? I remember being so shocked when I went to Jim Morrison's grave at Pere Lachaise, all that graffiti. Still, the "personal" touches for each of them are fitting in their own way. Less anonymous.

The architectural of the British museum is pretty amazing :)
A Happy 2009 to you Jams!!
How's Mimi surviving?
She's doing very well James, she falls over a lot but she is a happy cat
I still love that last photograph :-)
That shot of Mimi is priceless! And I remember the crab spider -- fascinating shot, that one!
Magnificent photos and great choices. :-)
Have a good 2009 Jams.
Lovely. I was going to vote for the spider and the teasel but I can't overlook the not-wife and Robyn, I 'm not that much of a cad I hope.
Wishing you and yours a splendiferous 2009 from me and mine.
Love the top photo. Happy New Year!
