Photos

This is a scan from a collection of photos of Saint Pierre et Miquelon. I went there to practice my French the summer I was 16. It is a fascinating place-partly like the Canadian province of Newfoundland and partly like what I would imagine 'mainland' France to be like. The landscape is rugged and beautiful and fortunately the weather was lovely when we were there (it is often cool and foggy I think). This is an image of a typical gravesite- I think this one is especially grand because it is the resting place of the town priest (if I recall). The graves are above ground- which is very different from where I am from. I liked the dome-like rock tomb and the bright white fence with purple flowers commemorating the body of someone clearly well-respected, so I took a shot. Not perfect, I know, but I've been meaning to share it here for some time. Hope you like it.
