Month: September 2016

While we were in Paris we visited some of the more unusual car dealers. Here are just a few that we came across

Strollong around beautiful Cortona, perfect weather in the mid 70’s. No matter how many times we come back it is always so wonderful to be here. Always looking for new shots to take, but I think I have photographed just about every inch of this town!

For some reason, for the last 6 days I have been unable to post any photos on to my blog. Even typing this message is like watching what I would imagine an old teletype was like. Pause, click, one letter, pause again. Just to let you know I have so many photos and experiences I want to share so will keep on trying and hopefully will get it figured out. Murphy’s law, technical support for WordPress has been on a retreat during this entire time and state they will return tomorrow, fingers crossed!!

The first photo is the view from our apartment, so nice to have a veranda right on the water, what a wonderful place for breakfast. The second is one of my favorite walks which is the Fondamente Nove, this was taken just as the sun was coming up. The third I took from the vaporetto and the fourth is the Fondamente Nove again, this is the walk we take every morning to go for coffee and croissants at our favorite cafe.

No matter where you turn, no matter what street or alley you go down you are sure to find a statue. It almost becomes overwhelming trying to capture and remember all you see. Here are a few of my favorites from around Paris, some from the streets and others from the sights we have visited.

1) Van Gogh “La Nuit e Toilee. As I looked at it I heard Don McLean

2) The giant clock with Sacre Couer in background

3) The main floor of the museum (originally a train station)

4) Whistler (mother)

5) Part of the Louvre through the clock

6) View through the window

A few shots I took of the EIffel Tower. Yes, some of the shots I was laying on the ground to take. It is such a fascinating work of art.

I have found that my most favorite time to walk around Paris is just as the sun is starting to set, the weather starts to cool down and everything seems so peaceful.

  We spent quite a bit of time walking through the Luxembourg Gardens. They were just as beautiful and impressive as I had heard. When we first arrived there were only a few people, but within an hour it was packed with locals, tourists and students that were all spread out enjoying lunch.

The building was originally the palace of Marie de Medici and is now used as the Senate. The fountain was commissioned by Marie de Medici.
