Winter is coming. Fast.

Parc Monceau

Paris. I used to live just 20 meters to the park's main entrance, in the mid-eighties. During my first foray into international cooperation and development. I love to go back now and then...

Weekend in black and white

One week till Christmas...Well, one week to the Christmas market anyway, aka Christkindelsmarik, the 450th year in a row. Not bad! Since 1570, every single year. You can find the program here, in French, German and English

Autumn in the Petite France

Getting cold.

A Monday Mural

A very old photo, from when I was living in Barcelona. I was sometimes going up "north" , to the very south of France. I never stayed in this camping (many nice hotels in Argeles), but I really like what they did here.

Berlin, 09/11/1989

Freedom, Freiheit, liberté.

Weekend in black and white

The island of San Michele, in the Venice laguna, halfway between Fondamenta Nuove and Murano The whole island is actually Venice's graveyard. The statue is called la chiatta di Dante, or Dante's gondola, by Russian sculptor Georgy Frangulyan. It depicts Dante and Virgil, going to the afterlife.

City daily photo theme day: brown

Originally pink, the cathedral's stones turned brown, or even grey, over many centuries of pollution. Still beautiful though.
