Christmas Day

Christmas sur les Champs

These light orbs are decorating the fountains on the Champs Elysee, the rest of the decorations on the Champs are not so nice, the went Pierre Cardin all over the place, not so jolie.   

Orange Mercedes

Who cares about a pink Cadillac? And it has an english steering wheel. 

Vintage Volvo

It's definitely pretty/ugly. Look at the chrome stripe accenting that curve below the window line, and look at the back hatch window. This is a Volvo 1800ES. Yes, please. 

Banksy copies?

Sur mon île

Square Trees

Kind of amazing that the majority of the work to do this is done by hand. There is a big hedge trimmer for the sides. 

Notre Dame & Tour Eiffel

It's been a busy month. sorry guys, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

L'art dans les Tuileries

Versailles 1

Point Ephémère

Parisian graffiti, drinks and sometime music. A rather nice place on Canal Saint Martin.

L'Orangerie

Les Nymphéas:

Saint Chapelle II

An absolutely gorgeous chapel (read cathedral) built in the heart of Paris. They then built the french Supreme court around it. Saint Chapelle was originally built to house relics of Jesus' crown of thorns and  the original cross found in the holy lands durning the crusades.
This was a triumph of gothic construction.  The entire clerestory is stained glass which lets in an incredible amount of light. All the photos were taken at dusk, so not so much was shining through, but the amount of glass and luminescence in the building had to be astonishing at the time. There was nothing like it. 

Saint Chapelle

Diderot was a conehead

Why do I feel like this some days?

Appetizer...

And I ate it. I hate fish but these sardines ( I know right?) were amazing and had a beautiful smoky flavor. I will do this again. . . 

Nuages

There was a cold front coming in the other day, and I was walking by the Louvre et voila, a great open sky.
